Yeah, and why buy a cooker when you can build a fire in the garden/bed when you could sleep on the sofa/car when you can get the bus, etc etc etc.
Not helpful really, is it? |

Try the big charity shops, Emmaus, BHF and the like. They should last several months.
Otherwise YOutube the tv's symptoms and see if is easy to diagnose, then phone round for a few quotes. Hit and miss, I inow, but it's worth a shot.
A smart TV is one that can connect to YT/APV/NETFLIX etc. |

I don't need telly but I like watching it. Loads of people are quite isolated and lonely, especially recently and tv is company.  |

If you can’t afford to get a new one in the Black Friday deals, have a look at sellers sites but be careful about what you’re buying.
If you go to a cash converter style shop at least they give you a guarantee and can usually spread the cost a bit.
Failing that, maybe someone that you know can let you borrow one for a bit? |

If you've already got Netflix on the laptop, you've pretty much got everything else online too...
....simply create accounts with the various broadcasters - BBC, ITV, C4, C5, UKTVPlay - and you can watch live programming on all of them... |

"I have a spare flat screen Panasonic tv. It’s 32” and works.
Yours if you want it.
Where are you?
No idea what else I need to ask... does it work? freeview? DVD? VHS? remote? "
I can’t pm you details.
Based in the docklands but will be in Kent tomorrow and can swing by on my way back if you want it bringing.
It’s got a remote and free view but no dvd and definitely no vhs! |

I second that. The SONY Bravia is an Android TV which means it always runs the 'purest form' (and latest version) of streaming services such as Spotify, Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, BBC iPlayer, YouTube, etc etc.

Not exactly it’s a tv variant off it yes you can install normal android apps but they don’t deplay right they display in the mobile land scape origintsih witch means they side ways
To get it to display right you have to install the tv variant off the app or root it witch means soildering wires on to the back and dumping the nand flash
Well it was not shour if it’s changed I had one off the first rooted android tvs around back in 2014 |

I've just had the same problem  went to currys and got a 32 inch Samsung smart tv hd for £199.99 reduced from £259.99...if you do online shopping or not bothered about the make then maybe you would get one cheaper..  |

Having just done a quick search, the cheapest new 32 inch tv I could find was £169. As others have suggested, you probably need to look at the second hand market, or find someone who has a spare you can have. |

Someone's always offering an old TV for free on Gumtree, Facebook marketplace or Freecycle. I gave away 2 CRT TVs and an old HD LCD this last week alone. |

Since you’re sorted with tv thought I would mention I sold a broken tv on eBay for about £20 recently, guy collected it and was going to repair and sell on so win/win for both of us
Just would give you an extra couple of pounds with Christmas coming up |

Haven't read all the replies so sorry if someone's already suggested this, but it's worth just trying a local electronics repair shop. I had a TV fixed about 8 years back and it worked up until I gave it away. It probably still works because he done work to it that wasn't necessary but he knew would extend the life of it.
Only cost me £30 and that included him picking it up and dropping it back to me. |
