Maybe a TV?

Perhaps best stick to the radio or use iPad or laptop. You can get all the main TV progs, but you will need a license!

Thanks everyone.

If your locality has cable TV then you wouldn't need an aerial or dish for Freeview TV, but it would need to be installed into your home from the road.

TV's these days come with a variety of different features depending on need, so I would agree that a trip to a TV shop to get professional advice would be your best bet.

I have basic TV with built in Freeview if that is the expression, I am not interested in Sky or anything else. I have an outside ariel which in my mind was very expensive. I have a separate box for recording.

My bedroom TV I think is 32" but I have slight sight impairment or it could have been smaller.

I agree I would go into your local TV shop and tell them what you want.

BTW if you watch TV broadcasts on any device you need a TV license

go in a TV shop and ask

If you have the internet you can watch programmes on ipad or laptop

TV sets come in sizes small to large.

I'm not sure what you require to watch TV other than an aerial socket
I'm sure other GNers will be of help
