Anyone got any good or bad comment on LG42'' PT85 Plasma

Have been looking around for either Plasma or LCD tv around £ 600 mark and came across this.

I have Sky+ already, but the Hard Drive 160gb PVR built in seems an excellent addition and wonder whether anyone has one or can comment on it.

I know Sky found their 160gb Sky+ boxes too unstable and reverted back to 80gb and am obviously concerned on failure and constant problems.

Any opinions?

Where did you get that info from? The standard Sky+ boxes are 160GB, just they've taken 80GB for WasteOfTime.

The only downside to having the PVR in the TV is if something breaks then it's all one unit. Presumably though the TV could still be used with an external PVR if the internal one broke.

Actually you're right because Sky Anytime use the additional 80gb to allow catch up of programmes, but only what they provide!
