Roger, some flat screen Tvs do have in-built Freeview digital tuners.  I'd
imagine Sky isn't usually included, but I'v eno personal interest in that.

analogue sets of the age you mention are unlikely to have SCART sockets, but
with analogue sets that are equiped with SCART a Freeview box is the solution.
Don't know if any Freeview boxes actually have an RF output, but if so, then
older sets would obviously be usable.

Without wanting to stray from your question Roger, With TV coming to the
internet now, I suppose computers are now, and will increasingly be another way
of viewing.  (Via watch it again, or whatever it will be called, once the Beeb
gets that sorted.)  Believe some films and features on Channel 4 are now
downloadable.

Hi All

I was shocked to find my TV in my study is now 17 years old. So a
replacement is long overdue. That is where my problems started. In a very
few years time the analogue signal is to be switched off and digital will
reign supreme. Does that mean all analogue TV's will be thrown away as
useless? If so buying one now is to have only a limited use before a
replacement is needed. When looking at the specifications it will often say
no to a digital tuner. Does this mean that although the set may be a flat
screen it is only an analogue one.

Any guidance will be most appreciated.

Many thanks

Roger

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
