	We want to find out a bit more about what sort of televisions our readers have. Is yours a Smart TV? How old is it? Who makes it? Would you know the answers to the above question without looking? Let us know here.

	Ashleigh Allsopp, I have a 3 year old 50" Panasonic plasma. Although a TV, I only use the monitor capability, using a Freesat PVR (with iPlayer and ITV player), BluRay player and Apple TV connected via an HDMI AV amp. The "smart" functions on the TV are a real pain to use (you tube, UPnP client, etc) and I would never use them out of choice. If I were to upgrade it would probably be to a FreeView YouView PVR, as this would I think be easiest to use for the family.

	No TV at all here. Occasionally watch something from iPlayer, but very rarely indeed ( last time was maybe two or three weeks ago ).

	Ashleigh Allsopp, I've got a four or five year old 40" LG LCD. It's certainly not smart and it's analogue but I have it attached to a Freeview HD box. I'm not there much and I don't watch much TV on my own. My partner has a bijou unbranded 32" model, (she has a large room but still thinks that's a large screen!) that's attached to a Virgin TiVo box which is HD and has lots of bangs and whistles. We do use the catch up facility on that quite a lot and it will also get YouTube content.

	Ashleigh Allsopp, A nine year old 32 inch Goodmans behemoth. Hernia inducing when bringing into the house from the car I dread it dying because God alone knows how I'm getting it out.

	One year old Samsung Smart 3D TV (first new TV in 20 years) Picture is good – Smart TV features is a mixed bag most of the apps are pointless, but iPlayer etc. are great. Had to get TVMobli software to integrate with the Mac, as Samsung's didn't work.
