Advantages: Internet option could have been a good point. Disadvantages: Gimmicky, poorly designed, heavy.
We purchased the Bush Internet Portable Television two years ago for the meagre sum of £99. We were only after a portable TV for the bedroom at the time but this was in the same price range as other models with the added feature of Internet access so as that rather irritating advert says, "Why pay the same for less?"
The Bush Internet TV in packaged in a worryingly heavy box, dragging the television out of its annoying polystyrene carton you are confronted by what can only be described as a space age style portable television. In fact it looks like a deformed helmet for Neil Armstrong. This is re-enforced by its metallic silver, curved, bubble style. It is all very 1970's.
Setting up the television appears to be easy. According to the step-by-step instructions simply plug in the hoop aerial, plug into the wall and use the remote to ...

I like Bush. Really, I do.
No, not what your dirty little mind is telling you and not that weird guy who's apparently in charge of the planet, but Bush - you know, the electronics people. They make tellies and video players and DVD players and that type of thing, usually pretty damned cheaply, too.

You tend to get the best of all worlds with Bush - a good price, reasonable reliability and some features to play with too.
I have a 32" normal Bush TV on the television stand in the living room upstairs but, in advance of the World Cup earlier this year, I needed a large telly to go in the bar and I really wanted a large plasma or LCD ...

Advantages: Good picture & sound, easy to use controls. Disadvantages: Takes a few seconds to "warm-up".
I am a bit of a technophobe, but thought I would write about our TV DVD combi, in the only way I now how, simply. Hopefully it will help other non-technical people out there.
Our portable TV was having intermittent faults, and my family were complaining that it was so ancient that it didn?t even have a socket to plug in a free-view box. They also wanted a DVD player included in any new model that was bought.
Having a portable TV in good working order does reduce the amount of squabbles about what programmes to watch, so I decided to have a look around for the best value for money one for us.
I was strongly influenced by a TV DVD combi we had use of when we went on holiday, and after trying to find better value for money alternatives, I was drawn back to this model.
I have had one previous experience of owning a Bush TV ...
