undecided TV tuner

The TV tuner is my own sticky point at moment, im also waiting on a HDTV ready LCD 32" TV to come hopefully off Santa

but am just going to get things rolling and will have to put up with my current tv, luckily it has a svhs input so that should do. Main reason behind it was Im sick of my philips dvd recorder not playing genuine disks! I mean id understand backups but this just over heats playing genuine disks :@ but will also replace a hifi system so will have more space
