Hi Andy
I don't know what others think on this list, but my idea woudl be to give
up the idea of a digital TV. Get an ordinary set and it to a Sky Digibox.
This way you'll get a high quality digital picture, and if you were to opt
for a Sky+ box you will also get extremely good quality sound. All of the
films broadcast on Sky that have Surround Sound soundtracks 5.1 DTS are
receivable in that sound mode over a Sky+ box. I've never looked back
since I got my set up about fourteen months ago. The sound quality on one
of these boxes is really exceptional. Also bear in mind that reception
from a Sky+ box is always really good no matter how far from a transmitter
you may be as the signal is universally distributed from the satellite
If you're totally blind you might possibly have some trouble with the
menus and such like things on Sky but the same would be true of the
terrestrial digital service, and most of the problems can be got round, I
believe with some practice.
Best of luck in your efforts
Tony.

Subject: [access-uk] Question about digital and analog TVs
Hi all -
In the market for a new TV! I don't know if to buy analog or digital! At
the moment, I can only receive the basic 4 terrestrial channels here in
Devon. Digital radios don't work down here, and the only way I could get
digital broadcasts would be to buy a satellite dish, and a freeview box
[or at least, this is how I understand it!] So, if I were to buy a
digital TV, would I still be able to receive standard terrestrial
programming through my aril? or does digital TV only work with a digital
signal, so forcing me to go satellite?
A further question would be about model recommendations regarding sound;
yes I know sound is subjective, but ideally, I'd like a surround sound
package.
Thanks then in advance for any help on this.
Andy
