[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 615631, member: 199791"] Just a thought... :confused: With the switchover looming here in the Granada region (November), I was wondering what to do with my old TVs that have no AV facility, one being an old girly (pink accents and a heart tip on the aerial) Toshiba TV and the other being my old handheld Citizen CT555 (I think)... :) Now, my thought is that an RF tuner thingy, at a guess (I'm no expert!!! :-rofl2 ), converts the signal to an AV output, so, if I took out the tuner and replaced it with an AV input, then that would render the TV either capable of using a cheap-o brand freeview box, or useless (with my reverse engineering skills, it would most likely be the latter!!!)... :confused: But of course, this is just my mind working overtime... :) [/QUOTE]
