buying an analogue tuner tv?

melb

Is this a complete no-no. I've seen a tv with good reviews and a very good price probably because it's analogue although it does say it's HD ready. One of the reviewers said just buy a free-view box for when the analogue transmitters stop. Will this work ok. Also I wanted to keep extra boxes etc to a minimum as this is going into a bedroom and has an integrated DVD. It was from a company called Aria in Manchester and I understand they have a good reputation and it is 19". I've been shopping around quite a bit for one this size with integrated DVD but all the supermarket own brands get a slating and I thought Aria's might be better - one of the reviews said the sound quality is very good. any advice please?

Don't see a problem with that - just make sure you have a freeview box when they stop analogue transmissions.

I'm just bumping this up a bit cos I've read that my area, Yorkshire, won't be going digital until 2012 so maybe it's not such a bad buy?. On AV forums someone was saying Aria don't have very good customer service does anyone have any views please? thanks

Aria is a company that I avoid due to their poor customer service.

I find Amazon or eBuyer far better.
