Anything useful I can do with my old analogue TV?

Somerset

I understand it will work with a digi-box but I'll never bother to get a box to go with it. I've been told these tv's are just being dumped - nobody on freecycle will want it - charity shops won't (electrical test cost) - no secondhand value now we're digital.

Just seems a shame to take it to the tip. Is there anyone/anywhere that wants these old analogue sets ?

Don't write of Freecycle, they are being offered, and accepted, daily on my local group.

Many charities and youth groups also take them for viewing DVDs and playing video games

The British Heart Foundation has electrical shops, which should accept your TV. I understand that they do their own PAT testing.

Places like the Salvation Army provide furniture to poeple setting up home etc, they may take it.

Personally I think CRTs give a much better picture than the flat panels.
