Oh lord, we had one but you only had to cover your monthly rental the rest got returned.
Wow I remember those! Back in the day when we only had BBC1&2 and Southern a couple of mates had these and got London ITV. I was jealous as invariably they used to get a lot of midweek football highlights..
Looking level or down is more comfortable than looking up, plain and simple. Some people I'm told don't consider looking at peoples feet to be shit, however if you have to look up to them, that would be shit.

can you send link where you got this from assuming its not your own thanks
This. Get a 4K and a size up from the one you think you want.The bigger the better, within reason, TVs should fill your view. Viewing distance requirements from TV's have changed. In the old days you had to sit a distance away so you couldn't see the individual pixels and so the picture looked better.
Nowadays with good FHD and 4K you can practically stick your nose on the screen and the picture will look good, so 55 inch from 6 or 7 feet - no bother.
The most important decision is location. Whoever puts a TV over a mantlepiece wants their noggin examining, or at least their neck will need soothing after a while. Think cinema, theatre, amphitheatre, sports stadium etc., you always look level or down on the action for comfort - not up.
Is that your picture on your profile? You don’t look like a ‘Marshy’ …
