What to do if your TV stops working this Christmas

What to do if your TV stops working this Christmas

If your TV breaks over the festive season, you'll no doubt want to take steps to ensure you don't miss out on the Christmas entertainment. Here are seven courses of action you may wish to take in such a scenario.

1. The first thing to consider is whether you are able to fix it yourself. If you still have the instruction manual, it could be something as simple as resetting the channels, and you won't have to pay for repairs.

2. If the problem goes beyond your knowledge of electronics, then you may want to call in a TV repair specialist to assess the problem. If it's an expensive problem, then you have another decision to make about keeping or replacing it.

3. You may want to introduce a temporary measure over Christmas, like getting your old TV out the loft or the portable from the bedroom and using that for your festive viewing.

4. If you've only recently bought your TV, it should be covered under the warranty and the retailer may be able to send someone out to fix it.

5. If you rent your TV, then you will more than likely have TV repairs provided as part of your contract for manufacturing problems or breakdown. That means you won't have to shell out to have the TV repairs.

6. If you are unable to justify having the TV repaired, because of its age relative to the predicted repair costs, then you will need to think about buying a new one. January may be your best time to buy.

7. Alternatively, to reap the benefits mentioned in point 4, why not consider TV rentals? You can get a top of the range TV - more than what you might be able to afford as a buyer - and have any future TV repairs covered.

If TV rental sounds like the best step forward for you, and to benefit from TV repairs, then why not start browsing for your new set today?
