PVR/HDRs have digital in but also analogue out. I just recently upgraded to a DiGa, and even with the standard aerial out the digital picture quality is excellent. I've not got round to buying a D4 cable as our tellie supports that as an input. Janne, you don’t need to throw it out as most (all?) PVR/HDRs have digital in but also analogue out.

If you have a well-working CRT set and aren't chasing the latest and greatest, the best thing you can do is hold on to your set until shortly before the switch. Flat panel sets are getting better and cheaper all the time, and around system switch time you're sure to have a lot of retailers run special campaigns to grab their share of a buying rush. You either buy a television now, or you use your perfectly fine set for another three years and get a better, cheaper and larger set. Makes sense.
