Haven't read the comments as I have a headache, however I'm sure someone said it, but if not:
Put your daughter first and leave them / her with the nice TV. Buy some cheap media player dongle shit for yourself, or even a raspberry PI and install Kodi onto that.
HOWEVER, the one exception would be if she is moving in with her BF and he has a TV. If so, take your damn TV.
If you don't want to take this advice, then definitely talk to her about it. It's shit like this that spirals into a court case and you don't want that shit.
Good luck in the future dude, I wish you all the best of luck.

An easier way to settle it would be to let it stay wherever your daughter can benefit from it the most |
Both sides of the story? She has no side to it. Its my TV. I bought it. If she has her nan's TV, Ive bought an Amazon Firestick so my daughter can still watch Netflix, which incidentally arrived today. Sounds like a win win to me. I have 4 terabytes of movies and 1 terabyte of TV shows that I HAVE to be able to watch lol.

I am intending to be nice about it but nice can rapidly escalate into nasty when she has her say lol. Im thinking this is the best option so far.

Tell her the truth that my Dad did not buy us the TV.
Tell her I'm taking the TV.
Tell her I've bought a Firestick so our daughter can watch Netflix.
Deal with the consequences of my actions whatever they may be? |

Thanks man. I was thinking about my daughter hence the £35 I spent on enabling the option to watch Netflix! I know nothing about Raspberry PI and never heard of Kodi lol. I doubt things will end up as a court case if its my TV and I have proof of purchase?!
May the NFOrce be with you always.

I personally agree with Horror on this (I have skimmed over the rest of the posts, haven't ignored anyone) especially with his stipulation about "is she moving in with the new guy? does he have a TV? Take your TV" - I think your initial idea of taking *your* property and then buying a Smart HDMI stick, like the Fire, for her nan's TV is the best solution. That way you get what's yours and your child doesn't have to suffer for the parent's fighting.
Win all round  |

Thanks man
This fiasco has finally come to an end. I decided to take my TV afte both my parents said I should and the majority vote being 'yes' from you guys. I reworded what I was saying and sent my gf this text.
| Quote: | I've taken the TV.
Before you rant at me via text or phone, read this.
I know you said you'd prefer it if I didn't take my TV but I've had no choice literally for one reason only. Your nans TV has no USB connectivity so I can't connect my external hard drives which means I have no way to watch my downloaded TV shows and movies and I can't afford to buy a new one. I know you said you would prefer it if I didn't and you gave me 2 reasons when I mentioned it before you offered me your nans TV.
1. My Dad bought us the TV.
2. Our daughter watches it, presumably for Netflix.
First of all my Dad did not buy us the TV. My Dad gave ME money and it was MY decision to buy the TV, primarily for gaming I might add. I have the receipt to prove I paid for it. My Dad also said why can't you have your nans TV when I mentioned this to him.
Secondly, I purchased an Amazon Firestick which enables Netflix to work on older TVs. I was going to use that with your nans TV. As I don't have your nans TV now, you can have the Firestick so our daughter can still watch Netflix.
So I've set your nans TV up in the living room and installed the Firestick.
Now you can rant at me via text or phone. |
After everything the only response I got from her was 'ok'.
In the end I would have regret not taking the TV but it worked out for me. Also turns out her nans TV is 32" not 40" as I thought! I think it won't be much longer before her new boyfriend moves in with her or she moves in with him. Either way I think they will get a new TV between them.
So I moved into my new place today with my 48" 3D smart tv so it's all good! 
May the NFOrce be with you always.
