I've found a 20" lcd with Freeview and a DVD player built in.

It's £370, though!

Here's another one.

It's more expensive, though.

Could you not buy a compact DVD player and Freeview box to go with your TV?

I got this compact DVD player from Tesco:

It's only 22.5cm wide.

I think DVD player and Freeview combi's are quite hard to find.

Most TV's either come with a DVD player or Freeview built-in.

Doesn't mean you have to get an all-in-one integrated unit. I know that Vogels, and probably other bracket manufacturers make wall brackets which include the option for a plinth which you can stand a traditional set-top box/DVD/VCR etc on, underneath the screen itself.

Aldi had one a few weeks ago.

DMTech make one, available at Comet.

I think that is a mistake. The model shown does not have a digital tuner.

What makes you say that?

Seems to have by looking at the specs.

I've been looking for and LCD with freeview for a while but they seem to be about a £150 more expensive.
I have enough wires and don't want another box, it does seem odd that more TV's don't come with freeview as standard given the change over coming in the next few years.

Maybe they think when the change happens then they can sell you another TV with built in freeview in a year or two.

I've been spending the last two weeks looking for a Freeview LCD for my bedroom and of the 100+ LCDs I've come across, only about 10 have got Freeview built-in.

I think all the Freeview LCDs I've found have been £200 or more.

As Freeview LCDs are so expensive, you would've thought more shops would be selling them - to make more money.

Lots of shops are selling them?

Bare in mind that shops can't sell what manufacturers aren't making, though.

I wasn't saying that lots of shops are selling them - I was saying that only a few shops sell them (on the high street) and I would've thought more would.

There's a lot of Freeview LCDs on the Internet that you can't get on the high street.

Most of them tend to be the same generic Vestel/Beko stuff under a website's own brand though.
