Any professional in the TV trade will tell you that Sony is a far better bet.

Ok I have made my mind up and the winner is SONY

I've got the 40" version of the Sony and it's a great TV, just waiting on Netflix though.

I have just got a Sony KDL32c523. Has anyone owned one or got one and wha do they like about it plus can I record a TV show directly to my USB device to watch later.

There's a specific USB socket for an HDD on the side, however it has to be a specific minimum size, and is specially formatted and encrypted by the TV (and will ONLY play on that specific TV).

So can I use my Western Digital 60GB HDD in FAT32 to record tv progrannes and watch them on another laptop or TV

That's not what Nigel said.

No, you can only watch programmes back on the exact same TV that recorded it.

The TV formats the drive, so it wouldn't be FAT32 anyway.

I'd definitely get the Sony one - here are some more reviews:

Why can't I take my HDD out of the once recorded and watch it on another - is it something to do with what's installed on drive for protection

EDIT: Sorry just realised its encrypted and protected? EDIT
