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.

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. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq __________ NOD32 2135 (20070322) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
