No, because in analogue terms, sets made for other countries* don't work

All the ones I have seen have a menu allowing selection of each standard
available in Europe.

That's why I had to drive to Scotland on one occasion. The sales staff had
autotuned some Thompsons that had French settings as the default, and then
concluded that the aerial system was faulty.

No need to guess. If their opinions were wrong, they could at be detected
and corrected


With a certain amount of Hamming around... :-)

However since Digital TVs are capable of receiving Analogue I cannot see why
a typical 'Currys Customer' should want an analogue only unit.

The worls is going digital, we are in danger of becoming the dumping ground
for manufactured units that no other country wants.

There are a lot of very good reasons to
save the money on a DVB-T tuner now , unless
you can and want to receive DTT just NOW..

Late 2009 /2010 the new DVB-T2 standard will be
on the market and your saved money can buy you
the much better STB then.
If you need a DTT receiver until DVB-T2 is on the market
get a £20 box.
