How it connects etc..I have a 42cm plasma about 3 years old if that helps?. Any help would be appreciated cos i have no idea!. Thanks!

go to jb or dicksmith, they'd have the biggest range. maybe even retravision (that's near kardinina park (pun intended). You'd be able to get a HD box for under $100, or a SD box for under $50. I'm not sure how good they would be though.

Re the foxtel. you should be able to plug your set top box and your foxtel box into the tv at once. This means that if you click "av1" you would get foxtel and if you click 'av 2' you would get free to air via your set top box.

Can't help you with any brands though. sorry

hope i helped

Does your TV have HDMI sockets, by any chance?

The best STBs and PVRs (STB plus hard disc drive for recording) are made by Topfield and Beyonwiz. You will pay more for these, but the quality is light years ahead of the cheapies.
