Nice TV paid by our taxes.
Then paying tax into Australia isn't something you worry about eh Buzz?
What do you mean "our" taxes?
Meanwhile a tv is very cheap and that doesnt look like a really good one. You would deny them a TV?
SOB
A television that size is still probably at least a couple of hundred dollars. Multiply that by 3-4,000 (I'm being generous here) plus the set-top box if the TV is an old analogue set without an in-built tuner and you end up with a cost to the taxpayer of close to $1 million.
BS. I got a 32" for 120 bucks @ a jb hifi sale and there are cheaper sales around . . . .and you dont know if its second hand. . . ..
Of course they USED to be expensive . . . . the set top boxes were apparently given to everyone not just refugees.
SOB
JB HIFI haven't sold analogue tvs for yonks. Did you buy it in 1990?
Plasmas and LCDs have never been that low at JB HIFI.
You dont know if that TV in the pic is digital or analogue anyway. If its analogue then they most prolly got it 2nd hand - so - cheap.
The one in the picture is clearly a CRT. Only a handful or CRT TV's had digital tuners built in. Almost all of them needed a digital box.
Quote:BS again. Its a digital LCD. . . . I also got my bluray player/recorder there. Perhaps the one where you live doesnt have them so you think none do?...
... As for the sale where i got mine - the bigger ones were even cheaper but i didnt want a monster one and got a slightly more expensive smaller one.
SOB
They had bigger than 32 inch for sale for less than $120? Even
"monster ones" to the point that you chose to go with the little 32 inch as the others were simply too big?
I have never seen a 32 inch for $120. Not even a refurbished Soniq. The cheapest TV's at JB are always on-line sales, and even on-line, I have never seen $120 32 inch TV's. Not even close. The idea that ones too big (I'm guessing it would have to be at least in the 50 inch area, as 42 inch is fairly common these days and isn't a "monster") to be under $120 is...
.... yeah, that's just not happening. If you are going accuse Misty of speaking BS, you really need to back that up. No one is going to believe that you can buy a monster TV (well bigger than 32 inch) for under $120 in a shop in Australia. Well, not from an actual shop as opposed to the back of a van parked behind the shop...
