I am going to buy another PC to use for web-surfing, bit of Android development, project work, music,
etc.<br><br>I have a DVD Home theatre player and PS3 to play Blu-ray so really only interested in playing TV through HDMI to my<br>Panasonic Vierra TV (supports full 1080p). I have two aerials in my house
an old UHF (never got a good picture on this) and currently use the satellite dish from Sky.<br><div id="yiv1253447160yui_3_13_0_6_1383776855224_10"><br><span id="yiv1253447160yui_3_13_0_6_1383776855224_94"></span></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, Sans-Serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;" id="yiv1253447160yui_3_13_0_1_1383776855224_4204"><span id="yiv1253447160yui_3_13_0_6_1383776855224_94">So<br><br></span></div><div id="yiv1253447160yui_3_13_0_6_1383776855224_98" style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, Sans-Serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;"><span id="yiv1253447160yui_3_13_0_6_1383776855224_94">1.
