Panasonic has launched the UK’s first HD televisions with the new Freesat HD service, launched by the BBC and ITV, built-in.

The three new HD plasma TVs, the PZ81 series, will be available in three screen sizes: 42, 46 and 50 inch, and will be available in-store from June.

Katie got a quick hands on with the new TVs at the launch of Freesat in the UK.

  • I have an PTAE900E projector linked to a DMR EX87 pvr/video recorder. I now wish to take advantage of "Freesat" HD can I link a freesat digi box to this set up. Is Panasonic to launch a box for this purpose?
    I am very keen to improve the reproduction of the excellent of my Panasonic projector

  • I wish all reviewers would start testing Subtitle performance
    When deaf people rely on Subtitles or the many thousands of users that put it on as an English teaching aid subtitles are really important, sadly sky platform can be appalling, sometimes its down to weather, or dish alignment is not spot on, or subtitles lag so you can be reading what happened five mins ago.
    Worse offenders are advert breaks, a big splash across your screen imploring you to BE KIND TO YOUR BOTTOM - Andrex … and it stubbornly remains there 5 mins into the next programme until your forced to change channel and back.
    The Font and Big Bold helvetica font has not changed in 30 years. Its awful, time has moved on when will at least one manufacturer at least try to offer an alternative.
    choose a font, a colour scheme, transparency, with or without background.
    We want real subtitles, not something dreamed up in the days of CEEFAX time has moved on.
