Right I was wonder how many of you yobbos out there can safely say that they have the full DVD "kit", i.e., player, widescreen tv (big one), dolby digital bits and a big fat sofa. Obviously you lot here at DVD reviewer will have a tasty setup to review films on but is it actually that common to have "the lot"? I thought of this when I realised how poor I really am (in debt) and that it would take me ages to upgrade my 14" tv to....um...anything really. Go on guys, tell me what kit you have or ill kill you. Mercy buckets.

And we promise no detours to Planet Bollox this time, Blazin` !
Player : Encore DV450 (pants) Widescreen TV : Sanyo 28" widescreen - (er, pants) Sofa : £40 from me mate Ben Speakers : JPW Mini Monitors (yup, pants) Subwoofer : Eltax Atomic A8 (cool) Amp : Yamaha DSPA5 (le bollox du chien - jewel in the crown, mate)
If you can afford it, Blazin`, get yerself down to your local Co-op dept store or to Martin Dawes - you should be able to get a good rental deal on a 24" widescreen jobby. My TV is rented, thank goodness, so I will upgrade (probably to a Hitachi, much to Dukey`s delight) when the time is right.
Do NOT rent from either Radio Rentals or Granada on the understanding they are in competition with each other - they are not. They have been merged since July, as Radio Rentals kindly informed me on Saturday (the washing machine is rented too you see), and now call themselves boxclever (funky lower case lettering, but still s***e)....
Promise not to kill me now ?

Blazin`
I have:
DVD = LG3200 TV = Sanyo 28in (square telly but has 2 scart sockets great for the Play too) Working on the widescreen ! Sofa is a big leather mother, which is great for the ladies and the oil and the sorry side tracked........
Basically the setup sounds weak in comparison to the other regulars but I just wanted to get into DVD`s and wait and see what comes around the corner.....
