sky on freeview tv

i would like some advice,i would like to purchase a flatscreen tv with
freeview for the kitchen, will it be possible to have sky on it through the
airial cable,because the signal on my old set goes through the old analogue
tuner (channel 68)but the freeview is a digital tuner can this be tuned to
the sky signal

I have yet to see a TV with an integrated digital tuner that did not also
have an analogue tuner. In the future things may well be different, but for the time
being, you will be OK.

Use a Scart lead.

Use a Scart lead.

That's a ridiculous suggestion to make for a TV in a different room.

Depends on how far away the other room is. A good quality SCART lead
with separately screened co-ax cables should be able to manage at least
30 metres without any adverse effects.

If you can't buy a cable long enough and don't want to bother making
your own, it might be easier to put the longest run under the
floorboards in the form of separate cables to wall-mounting junction
boxes with SCART sockets. Use separate 75Ohm co-axes for the video
channels and you might get away with 100metres. One day, when all TV
sets have those neat little digital sockets, it can all be replaced, or
perhaps you could leave the cables in place and simply change the
sockets on the wallboxes.

The SCART truly is a dreadful thing, why didn't they incorporate a
locking mechanism? Many a time I've come home to find a disgruntled
missus & four year old because the telly has stopped working. A quick
inspection usually reveals that the box has been moved slightly making
the SCART half come out.

Mrs. training may solve this design fault.

Stop the box moving, then. Belling Lee aerial connectors don't lock either.
Nor do phonos or IEC mains connectors.

But those connectors' width/connection depth ratio is low - meaning that
it's difficult for them to be twisted out of the socket - they
generally have to be pulled straight out for them to become
disconnected. SCART on the other hand is very wide and quite shallow,
meaning that the socket can be rocked/twisted along long axis, leaving
it sufficiently connected one end to appear connected (and retained in
the socket) but sufficiently disconnected that it doesn't work.

And don't get me started on the near impossibility to get the cable in
the right way around without visibility of the socket. Even feeling
with my fingers to find our the orientation of the socket doesn't help.
(Of course - remembering which side the cable came out of the plug
before you disconnected the cable may be helpful!)
