Sky over RF - which TV?
Discussion
Hi Forum,
I've recently moved house, and it's wired for sky to multiple places via RF (single coax). Although normally I'd use twin Cat5 and baluns, there is just no way I'm pulling the floor apart in the main room just to give a better picture in the main room.
So, this leaves me with a problem - I want a new TV for on the wall, but according to the guys in John Lewis, none they stock have analogue tuners anymore. Currys thought maybe LG did, but since the same screens are in JL, I'm guessing maybe they don't!
So, does anyone have any suggestions on decent tellies you can either still get, or to look out for on Gumtree? It's years since I've looked at this stuff and I'm guessing not only is Viera not the stock answer, I'm after LCD not Plasma purely for energy / weight / thinness on the wall.
As an alternative, if anyone knows how to distribute better than RF without pulling the floor up, please let me know! I've googled / asked some techie types but they seem to think SKY won't sync with anything that streams HD via Wifi or whatever.
Thanks in advance,
Gump

I had the same issue, I ended up in Currys, picked one up and explained what it was for and I'd bring it back if no use.
They seemed happy, however I had to dig into the options to turn on the analogue tuner.
Not sure of what you need, but this is wall mounted, has a dvd for the kids and is perfect for our play room.

Thanks guys, I'll check out that HDMi over RF (first link I found was 370 quid and would stop front room telly being HD though =( ). Failing that, I'll find some TV's in store that look OK, then google their manuals so I can work out if they have analogue tuners - I can't be the only gump in the UK with a sky install like this...
