Excuse me, this is going to be a minor rant...!
When you get your TV through Sky or Freeview, what sort of device do you need?
Answer: A set-top box.
Sorry, what sort of box what that?
"Set Top".
Ah, right.
SO *WHY* does it seem that *EVERY* bloody small TV you get these days has a *ROUNDED* top or it *SLOPES* or it's *TOO DAMN NARROW* to put a box on without risking the thing *FALLING OFF*?!?!?
My old TV has just died (I have a picture about 1 pixel wide!) so I wanted to get a new one, but because I have a set-top box (and also a video that emits a very directional high-pitched whistle that I can only avoid by putting it on top of the TV so it goes over my head instead of into my ear!) I wanted to get a new TV that, like my old one, has a *flat* top.
But it seems that *all* the ones available on the market today have "exciting" designs or narrow tops that mean that it is impossible for me to site my STB and video on top!
*WHY*???
