Page 1 of ANALOGUE to DIGITAL

What happens to the TVs that are set Reception Analogue when everything changes to Digital 2008.
Do they have to be converted or dumped.

its going to have to be a separate freeview, sky, or cable box - the receiver in your set will be redundant

Does this also mean that you cannot tape one programme whilst watching another. If so it does seem a bit of a step backward, apart from the picture quality.

Does that include picture break-up,freezing (though sound continues) and of course the dreaded "no signal" message and the automatic upgrade that arrived last week and made my freeview box less easy to use. :¦ :¦

It means you need a dual tuner digital box with a HDD. Or maybe by then DVD recorders will have the digital tuners built in. I have a DigiFusion digital box and it is great. Can record all my stuff during the week and play it back on the weekend. Only has a 20GB hard disk but there are others with bigger disks. Have only filled it about 75% and that was with me and my housemate both out and recording stuff. It can also record subtitles if you need to, I think it is the only box that does.
