New bedroom tv for sky

will111222

Hi,

I watch my sky box in my bedroom via a coax cable on a 15 year old tv. The tv is starting to fail -sometimes the sound does not come on.

So I need a replacement tv. I am a little confused by this but I believe I need a TV with an analogue input. How do I work out which tvs are compatible?

I am looking for something around 32" if anyone has specific model suggestions.

Thanks in advance

Will

I thought all analogue had been turned off in the UK?

I am not 100% sure about this but I believe the sky box outputs an analog signal to the tv upstairs. That's why I believe the tv needs an analog tuner.

Thought you only needed a aerial socket, that what i use on 2 tvs in my house that use coax and magic eyes.

Something like the below (I have one so know they have analogue and digital tuners) would do the job.

I know what you mean - my dining room relies on an old co-ax for the picture (i use a sender for the remote - but my internet stopped this being used for the picture).

Basically you need one with both tuners - many earlier models of digital TV's had both - or just analogue.

Check the technical specifications! You're looking for an analogue tuner as well as a digital one. I haven't heard (yet) of a TV that doesn't still have an analogue tuner built in, it's still useful for your very function, as well as, um, old games consoles, and anything with an 'RF Modulator'.
