I posted about that somewhere else - a trip around the local Comet and Currys revealed hundreds of analogue LCD tvs all operating. Both had about a dozen freeview boxes each not connected not running - how do you choose?
Currys had one Freeview LCD IDTV running, there didn't appear to be a Freeview tv in Comet.
In neither place was Freeview on the agenda, if at all.
I asked in this forum if there was a DVI Freeview box - no replies. What is the point of having a digital signal , a digital display - and then putting up with analogue inbetween

However as far as I can tell there is no native interlaced digital display technology on the market, so maybe we're expected to watch good old trusty analogue CRT. There were just a few of those in Comet and Currys - and in fairness while I was there they were attracting more interest than the LCDs.
Of those few CRTs half I would rate as terrible - squiggly lamposts which bend when a car drives past- I thought that had been fixed 20 years ago - have they forgotten how to do it
