    What's your TV set-up for relaxing viewing? Ours is 50" Samsung, cost £475, wall-mounted in a spacious corner of a long kitchen, two-seater settee, using a TP Link (no aerial), footrest and coffee table, preferably no lighting, regular channels watched include Netflix, BBC iplayer, All 4, ITV Hub, You Tube. Currently watching The Shield on All 4, maximum of 2 episodes per night (else start to nod off). Well, it's not as if there's anything else to do. What's your TV set-up?

    14" Black and White TV.
    Cracking fuzzy screen, with massive Ariel.
    Pointless having it though as I dont watch BBC, ITV or C4.

    I never watch TV, but it's there its big **** off Samsung thing.. I watch a film on it if there's someone here, but otherwise I don't switch it on..

    I think TV has had its time personally... Soon to be redundant along with satellite dishes.

    You still got that one from the late 70s/early 80s? The one on which you watched Sugar Ray Leonard's fight with Duran?
