your old tellies and videos will still work on freeveiw providing you have a freeveiw box per seperate channel you want to watch and record at the same time
in other words if you want to record a video and watch another chanel on the telly you need 2 freeveiw boxes you also need a freeveiw compatable ariel orientated towards your local transmitter
iff you have 2 videos and want to record 2 channels you need 3 freeveiw boxes including the tv one

when the switch off or changeover happens your old equipment will still work normaly providing as above you have a freeveiw box or digital recorder[electronic video equivlent without the tapes]

Videos? VIDEOs? Who the f**k still uses videos?

Alice?

Good points though... switch-over is getting closer every day. Mind, I suspect many, many people are either cable or Sky-capable. Maybe we should run a poll to see who has what? Just curious.

I Know it says I'm On-line, but I might have just left myself logged in, whilst I'm out....

Switched over a while back round here.

Freeview box in the Livingroom, another in the Bedroom, and a new TV with it built in for the Sunroom.

I can see you've got more legs than normal....How many eyes do you need to watch 3 TV's ??

Sunroom? Sunroom? Have you got one in the Gatehouse, Vestibule, Morning Room, Formal Dining Room and Butler`s Pantry as well?

Telly is 99% crap.

In the summer no-one is watching so they put on crap.

In the winter everyone is watching so they put on crap.

Just my theory.

yep a load off poo most off the time
i like comedy light hearted soap [heartbeat monarch off the glen that sort off thing]
informative factual' police/ customs/emergency services series 'craft/ building /vehicle and house' grand design /kirst/phil/sarah type programs' mechanical /electrical /transport/engineering/structural

dont like soap sport dancing brother on ice jungle type programs but do enjoy britains got x factor untill the phone ins start

so quite a choice without paying a subscription

Gatehouse & Butlers Pantry, Oh for heavens sake, one doesn't allow ones servant to watch have luxuries.

They should be working not relaxing.

Just counted, we've got 5 TV's for 2 of us my old "on digital" box is still going strong!

So that means I definitely need a VCR for connecting with freeview box...!!
Can you tell me the current prices for VCR's...!!
