Same here, watching mine as typing this
Got it last year for £530 with 5 year warranty from JL.
Well on Thursday I went to Richer Sounds and handed over £529 for a Samsung UE48H6400. I also wanted a Humax HDR-1010S 1TB but they didn't have any stock so I've had to order that from Curry's online at £189.99.
I got the local aerial installer to fit a new dish with Quad LNB so I have the cables ready for the Humax box when it arrives. Could have paid slightly less, but for £20 extra he replaced my old dish, so went for that, paid him £100.
Right now I have the Samsung rigged up to my hub via an ethernet cable and it's connected to my TV aerial.
I am genuinely shocked at how good the picture is on the HD channels. I signed up through the TV for Netflix at £7.50/month and the quality of the movies is breath taking!
Still playing with it and trying to understand all the things it can do, cottoning on fairly quickly as well, it's not that difficult.
My one disappointment was that when I connected my (13 year old) Videologic Digitheatre surround sound system up, via the optical cable, it was slightly out of sync. Annoying, but I guess I can't expect everything. Saying that, I was expecting really bad sound quality (been duped into believing ALL new HD TV's need soundbars...
) and refreshingly I have found that the built in sound is really not that bad at all. Might have to treat myself to some sort of sound system for the movies, but day-to-day TV is plenty good enough through the built in speakers.
Very impressed and happy with what I have. Thank you to all.

I guess your sound system doesn't have a sync setting that you can adjust? Might be worth checking the settings on the TV as well as there could be an option to adjust audio delay?
It has one button on the R/C that simply says "Delay", tried that, no effect, if anything I think it makes it worse.
Edit: The delay feature I referenced above is for large rooms and is part of the surround sound set up, nothing to do with syncing the input. Just been reading about it, it appears I am not alone.
