I'd imagine that the majority of TVs in use, by a huge margin, still have analogue tuners and I doubt that John wants the terrestrial channels for his 2012 model, 50-inch, flat panel, HD, 3D TV that he uses as his third set.
Perhaps John can qualify his original post to give us a better idea of what he wants to achieve so that we can better assist.

Er, yeah, as one would expect which is why I asked "Is anyone
in an area where they can receive DVB-T (Freeview) on a set-top aerial?" just to get an idea of how rare or common it is.

No steam, I've converted it to run on bio-fuel. I bet it's not the oldest box out there though. I expect there are 1000s and others of that ilk still in use and holding back the V Box EPG due to their memory and CPU limitations. My ex-NTL Di4000-N had a three day EPG before we merged with 'those' people. Now we have the lowest common denominator EPG in order to support the decrepit kit from other areas.
Does anyone know who has what? Can the network tell what boxes are out there?
So, Masque, send me something better as a self-install and take one more vintage box off the cable.
