It's a least a couple of months since our somewhat aged TV changed colours, with green blood and red oceans, and we've been putting off replacing it until the January Sales. Which this year, apparently, started on Xmas Day.

So off we went to Argos with a pile of vouchers to cash in and got a 32" HD Sony Bravia LCD TV for only just a little more than we can really afford. Then came the fun bit - getting it to work connected to the V+ box was comparatively easy, getting it to perform in HD as advertised was a little more complicated.

Both the TV set and the box need to recognise the other, and as usual it's do a bit to one, do something to the other, follow the instructions on the screen, get nearly there and... well, start again, really. I must say that the most comprehensive instructions (which finally worked) were the ones on the Virgin help site, and it is now up and definitively running. All I could possibly desire is something worth watching to watch, now!
