    I have two 32" bought in the last couple of weeks.

    Brian, I think Freetime was first marketed as 'free time' and was developed by the Freesat team for Freesat. The software, with some tweaks, was made available to Freeview and is now marketed as 'Freetime', one word. I'm sure someone will correct me if I've not got that quite right. Up until a few weeks ago I thought Freetime was only available on Freesat, and so did the salesman in John Lewis.

    Panasonic have freetime TV's both with satellite tuners and freeview tuners (these work just like a humax freetime box, my Panny has twin freesat(freetime) and twin freeview tuners.

    They also have freetime on TV's that only have DVB-T2 inputs (no DVB-S2 inputs).

    It caused some confusion when the Panny freetime TV's were announced and when the first models arrived they had no satellite inputs
