That is a top tip and if only I had seen it a few hours ago before I renewed but hopefully we can switch it when we get there as we'll be buying a TV:-)

Yes you can do it after you move.

Why don't you buy a TV in the UK and then you'll be able to watch UK TV shows on it when you bring it with you.

Almost flew over my head did that but thankfully the BS detectors are working

Actually this has set me thinking. Once upon a time a regular topic was how to change the codes on North American DVD players so they'd play UK format DVDs.

I can't remember the last time it was discussed.

No need to change any codes when you can buy a multi region dvd player for under $40
Remember these threads? Can anyone help me with my UK DVD collection?
Which DVD player and where from for UK DVDs

Certainly remember the first. I posted on it.

Absolutely CostCo. They offer reasonable priced extended warranty also, or buy it on a credit card that offers that. Just know that a lot of their TVs are "current model - 1", so 2020 versions, which are all fine and easier to find reviews on.
BestBuy also have some good deals if can find something a sale.
Amazon offer good prices on Toshiba Fire TV.

Nice to see Costco getting all the recommendations lol...seeings I work there.

Can you ask HO to supply shopping baskets as well as the trolleys? Sometimes I only need a few things and I cannot carry them all by hand.

I have asked the same question. Answer: we don’t want to encourage people to buy a few items.

Up until late last year although COSTCO had good prices on TV's they were usually older models. Today they are selling some of the latest models Sony A90/A80 OLED models and have good prices. Personally I prefer to buy a TV from independent electronic stores for delivery and set up although I know COSTCO offer white glove service.

I find shopping carts are better and do more damage to the assholes who leave their carts in the middle of the aisles rather than a flimsy shopping basket

So that's what happened to it. Mystery solved.

There isn't an independent electrical retailer in this part of the world anymore. I did buy a TV from them 3 years ago but the most recent purchase came from Costco. It's a challenge, buying a TV from Costco in St John's to be sure. The new Costco store opened last year in the Galway retail park (the ego community constructed by the former premier Danny "Muskrat Falls" Williams) which is the highest and windiest place in the city. In a city famed for being windy. I found my sailing skills came in useful in tacking the cart and TV along the car park aisle until I got to the car. Loading it into the car without being blown away required two people and some commitment.

Bummer although you do have a Best Buy and I have used the Geek squad and they are OK. Google shows Aztec electronics at 267 Hamilton Ave plus the usual Leons, the Brick, The Source etc although not exactly independent.
