Question from John: Asked on 02/01/2009 I have a couple of questions and forgive me if they appear "lame".
1) If I bought the PZ81 from you via the net, would you give me a Free 5 yr warranty and a stand that fits this TV for the price indicated on your web page (£929.97)
2) If I wish to continue subscribing to Sky for the non free channels but would wish to use the Freesat feature when I want to watch something different from the kids (I have magic eyes but not multiroom in their bedrooms), would I need a separate cable from my sky dish into this TV or could I use the existing cable that goes into my currrent sky plus box ? (hope that makes sense).
Question from Paul B: Asked on 02/01/2009 I see that Laskys are pricing this set at 880.00 but not currently in stock. What is the best price you can do and if purchased in store would this come with the 5yr Panasonic warranty?
