Yeah, and why buy a cooker when you can build a fire in the garden/bed when you could sleep on the sofa/car when you can get the bus, etc etc etc.

Not helpful really, is it?

Try the big charity shops, Emmaus, BHF and the like. They should last several months.

Otherwise YOutube the tv's symptoms and see if is easy to diagnose, then phone round for a few quotes. Hit and miss, I inow, but it's worth a shot.

A smart TV is one that can connect to YT/APV/NETFLIX etc.

I don't need telly but I like watching it. Loads of people are quite isolated and lonely, especially recently and tv is company.

It could be an internal fuse so, don't bin it until a n engineer has spoken to you. Search online for free repair quotes.

If you can’t afford to get a new one in the Black Friday deals, have a look at sellers sites but be careful about what you’re buying.

If you go to a cash converter style shop at least they give you a guarantee and can usually spread the cost a bit.

Failing that, maybe someone that you know can let you borrow one for a bit?

If you've already got Netflix on the laptop, you've pretty much got everything else online too...

....simply create accounts with the various broadcasters - BBC, ITV, C4, C5, UKTVPlay - and you can watch live programming on all of them...

I can’t pm you details.

Based in the docklands but will be in Kent tomorrow and can swing by on my way back if you want it bringing.

It’s got a remote and free view but no dvd and definitely no vhs!

I second that. The SONY Bravia is an Android TV which means it always runs the 'purest form' (and latest version) of streaming services such as Spotify, Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, BBC iPlayer, YouTube, etc etc.

I've just had the same problem

went to currys and got a 32 inch Samsung smart tv hd for £199.99 reduced from £259.99...if you do online shopping or not bothered about the make then maybe you would get one cheaper..

Having just done a quick search, the cheapest new 32 inch tv I could find was £169. As others have suggested, you probably need to look at the second hand market, or find someone who has a spare you can have.

Haven't read all the replies so sorry if someone's already suggested this, but it's worth just trying a local electronics repair shop. I had a TV fixed about 8 years back and it worked up until I gave it away. It probably still works because he done work to it that wasn't necessary but he knew would extend the life of it.

Only cost me £30 and that included him picking it up and dropping it back to me.
