A normal "analogue" CRT TV will be fine for most of us for at least the next 3 or 4 years. By then you should be able to buy a digital
set-top box for next to nothing. In fact, you can already get a Freeview box for upwards of £40, though the quality may not be the best.
You can always trade up to a big flat-panel high-definition capable TV in another couple of years when there are more high definition sources
available, and the prices for all the bits of kit have dropped to a sane level.
Cheers

Depends where you live. The first place (some where in Wales) has already been switched off. The last regions (Meridian & London I believe) will
switch in 2012 though.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I popped into aldi today to look at that,its pretty good as its got a twin tuner too for recording one prog while watching another which the others i
have seen dont have.
Its about half the price of the single tuner ones i've seen,including the goodmans shite in argos.
I'll wait for one that records to disc though.
