Actually we almost never used the TV in analogue mode at all. We use to live
in the valley floor and the analogue TV reception was terrible, so only a few
months after buying the TV we got a Sony digital tuner and have been digital
ever since. We were probably one of the first people in the village to go
digital!

As we have had a perfectly good digital/CRT combination for years I've not had
any impulse to replace it with a flat screen TV. Until very recently I think
they still had analogue tuning circuits in them and it's still common to find
them without HD DVB tuner/decoders!
While I'm not interested in 3D TV, I think I'll eventually buy a HD TV, I
don't want one much bigger than our current 71 cm (~28"), but it would be nice
to have something a bit thinner so we can save some space. Then all we have to
do is freecycle/dump the old TV...!
