I find it funny* that a TV coming out in the end of 2009 has an analogue tuner built in - digital as an option?!
What is this about? Analogue TV has it's days counted. Here in Finland it's gone already.

In 11 days, it will be gone in Denmark as well.... (unless you have cable-television from a supplier like Yousee og Stofanet...)
So you have to add the price of the Digital tuner...

Have to agree. Putting in an analogue tuner just when the world has agreed to go digital (and is doing it right now) is a bit crazy. Hopefully you can redesignate the analogue TV button to something more useful. Maybe the digital tuner standards are all different so they just couldn't put in a single digital module from the outset (but surely could have done it for each country. Or, maybe there just isnt space in the case!
It is because they do not have a functioning digital tuner!!!(DVB-C) Simple as that!!!
In the UK, the DVB-T HD module will be standard. The analogue tuner can be switched off and the TV button reassigned. I think it is reasonably useful to still have the analogue tuner for a while as we still get times where analogue is the only system working! The ability to reassign buttons is however one of the big selling points for me.

The analogue tuner is necessary for Linked Video to function. Until MasterLink is updated, I would imagine all TVs will ship with analogue tuner functionality.
OK, so have the analogue, but please treat your customers to digital TV at a cost of 6000e... Don't you agree? Why the extra cost? How much will the digital TV module be?

The DVB HD tuner of that TV is DVB-T and DVB-C...

In the UK market, you cannot buy it without the DVB-T module. The price includes it. The extras will be the AR coating and the stand you want. You can also change the colour of the speaker cover.

OK, so that is good, hopefully it would have a T/C DVB module over here in Finland, without any extra cost... AR coating is a must.
