If you have any issues please comment on the page (I will receive and email about it)… happy shopping!

un televisor a colores |
So we went to buy a TV the other day, typical occurance, should be fairly simple… right? Apparently not, at least not in this country. When buying a TV (in the United Kingdom), one needs to purchase a TV License in order to legally view channels, any channels, no matter what.
TV License purchased, some research done in order to try to find the best deal, etc, we went out. Two good choices awaited us: a regular, everyday, normal, yet good-sized TV for a very good price, or a large, flat-screen LCD TV for the price you would expect, but with a spread-out payment plan which looked very affordable. We decided to go for the second option and got the attention of a shop employee so we could make our purchase.
After telling him what we wanted, the shop employee kindly informed us that with the spread-out plan, you actually have to complete the entire payment in order to take the TV home, which meant that we would have to pay for a couple of months before actually getting the TV…
Needless to say, I was a little bit shocked. Maybe it’s because I come from a country of “have it your way” and “instant results,” but it seemed to me a bit odd to expect people to make payments to a shop and not get anything in return for months on end!
In the end we went with the regular TV, with which we can view about 4 channels, only 1 clearly… so now we await our cable hook-up (as our freeview box with aerial and aerial booster doesn’t seem to receive a signal).
