Okay so I have finally finished a DIY job that lasted a 'little' longer than expected (3 weeks longer to be exact, but then when don't things take longer than expected!).
I am now looking at the final touches... namely 42inches of wide screen viewing pleasure
I checked what HD channels I can get here: http://www.digitalchoices.co.uk/hd-tv/hd-coverage-checker.html and it says I can get Freeview HD (Which seems a bit lame... 4 channels! Is this normal, or just because of my area?) and also Sky & Virgin. So my first issue, is whether I should go for a Sky package, or a Virgin one.
I am mainly interested in Movies and HD sports... I am not too worried about the movies being in HD to be honest, it is more the sports I like to watch in HD
Do any of your guys know which service is better for HD sports? Sky or Virgin?
My last question is about the TV its self. I don't know whether I should go with a Plasma screen, or an LED.
To be honest, I am not really worried about things like power consumption as we have solar panels on the roof, and it really does seem to kick out enough for us.
My main concern is that I don't actually know the difference between LED TV's and Plasma ones. I just wondered if any of you guys know which is best, mainly in terms of a nice, crisp HD image, that is good for fast action sports viewing?
Awaiting your replies eagerly, as I have a 42" shaped gap on my newly skimmed and painted stud wall
EDIT: This is the TV that has caught my eye, I just don't know if Plasma is the best type for what I want? - http://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-42PA4500-42-inch-Plasma-Freeview/dp/B007K4V2DI/
