Still on NTL/Chorus analogue in Castleknock area. Never upgraded as picture was fine on CRT. Unfortunately my 17 year old crt tv has just expired ! So considering buying a flat screen (probably LCD ? ). But I am concerned about picture quality from analogue on the latest HD TVs. Given that this is my first move to flat screen and with a view to getting a quality TV, I am thinking about something like a high spec Sony 40" Bravia, or similar. What would the analogue picture be like on this ?
I appreciate any comments and advice. Many thanks.
Many thanks poochpal.
Was the Panasonic specifically recommended as good for analogue or did you choose it based on brand/quality/value.
Does it have a coaxial cable input or do you use a SCART ?
Anyone with a digital system like NTL or Sky need not be concerned about digital/analog capability. Only people who expect to get their TV signal from a aerial (Digital Terrestial Television, DTT) will be affected. When dtt goes 'live', they will need a TV with a digital decoder built-in. Currently RTE is testing their digital service and it can be picked up with a aerial plugged into the TVs digital input.You're lucky my analog is woeful. UPC don't seem to want to fix it. Digital is fine, if blocky at times.
Since the NTL box does the decoding. Why do you need a "digital TV system"?
Different versions of the MPEG digital picture coding/decoding standard have been chosen by the UK and Ireland. The Irish DTT service will use MPEG4. The UK use MPEG2. TV's deigned for the UK market will have MPEG2 decoders and will not be compatible with MPEG4. ie no pictureWhats the difference between the UK and Irish system. Saying MPEG doesn't explain it.
