Digital tuners -Are they able to use an analogue signal?

[Kamakazie]

Just wondering, TV models that don't seem to have different variants for analogue/digital tuners... do they have dual tuners?
Is this the case with every TV with a digital tuner... that its dual?

Asking this because we can't get freeview here in Jersey but if it does come, a TV with a digital tuner already would be nice.

Models i am looking at Sony S series, JVC 7 series and Toshiba 66 series.

been looking around some more and Wiki rekons that most DO support reception of analogue.
What in the specs should i look for to make sure? will it be stated or should i take it as a given?

I don't know of any major maker offering digital only.

how do you mean?
only offering digital tuners or offering digital tuners that only recieve digital transmissions?

right now managed to find out that atleast the JVC's have both analogue and digital

slowly getting there.
just gonna presume they are all the same. If one doesn't happen to be the DVD recorder will have one anyhow

thanks for the help hamster

Tuners that do digital only with no analogue.

Our JVC has both digital and analogue tuners.

Sets with more than 1 digital tuner would be a great feature for manufatcturers to start doing.
