Hope i am in the right forum.
I want to buy a flatscreen tv for the bedroom, at the momment I have an old style tv with a coax connection at the back so I can plug in the sky cable from the main tv in the living room.

My question is if i buy a new LCD tv will I still be able to do that?

Yes, but that TV is absolutely gash.

I may be wrong, but I thought all TV sets had aerial sockets...

Some do not have UHF tuners any more.

Didn't know that, what do they have instead (is that a stupid question) ex-TV salesman here, interested to know.

I haven't come across a TV that doesn't have a UHF tuner (perhaps the Panasonic plasma with Freesat but I think that has a UHF tuner too?!).

More and more TV's are doing away with the analogue tuner which is what you need to connect the Sky RF2 output up to your TV.

Sorry, what i actually meant is analogue tuners, UHF was the wrong term to use

Thanks' for the replys guys, so if this TV does not have a analogue tuner connection point is ther such a thing as a converter so I can still use sky upstairs for the footy?

That TV does by the looks of it, you wont have an issue.
