[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 618501, member: 199791"] I'm confused, if the TV is an IDTV (Integrated Digital TV), but the ID part doesn't work for Digital??? :confused: Our Sony IDTV is about 7 or 8 years old and it still works on the Digital side, and for the moment it's same on the analogue, but that doesn't see much use unless there was some failure on both the cable and freeview. The switchover here's set for November, so I can't say whether the switchover knocks off the TV's innards, but we'll see... :) As for the set top boxes, I think what they were trying to say is that their boxes have a UHF modulator in them, unlike most cheap freeview boxes, so that they can put out an Analogue RF signal for older TVs/Videos with no Scart/AV facility, but often technical staff aren't actually that savvy when it comes to explaining things... :) But it's still confusing that their early TVs can't handle the same signals that they have used for the past 9 years... :confused: [/QUOTE]
