New TV

Last Friday morning, I bought ourselves a new TV. It's a Panasonic LCD-TV of 66 cm viewing diagonal (26"). It's only HD-ready and it did cost more than the € 700,- I specified in my requirements

However, it does have enough inputs to capture the whole range of input devices we have on our media side. And I just noticed that we tend to buy what looks best at the time. We're not partial to any specific vendor. Here's a list of things we have:

• Sony VCR, 12 years old
  
• JVC DVD player which also doubles as a CD player, 4 years old
  
• Yamaha Receiver, 6 years old
  
• Panasonic TV, 3 days old
  
• Apple iPod, 8 months old
  
• Pioneer Cassette player, 16 years old
  

This is quite a mixed landscape and it makes for a wide variety of remote controls, or zappers as we like to call them.
