Digital tv
well this is what i found on the digital t.v website :
No, you don't need to get a new TV as almost any TV can be converted with a digital box, even black and white ones and televisions without scart sockets. Your television needs to have either a scart or RF input. Unfortunately if your television does not have either of these inputs it cannot be converted to receive digital television.
Most, but not all, digital boxes come with scart sockets so make sure you check if you television has one. If your TV was made after 1996 it will have a scart socket.
If your TV does not have a scart socket, you can purchase a digital box that connects to the RF input (aerial socket) on your television.

you need a freeview box (or equivalent) to decode the signal, plus an arial to boost reception, plus a tv to display the picture on.
