New digital TV delivery, can I use existing cable connections?

Posted on Oct 29, 2009 under Digital news and reports |

We’re having a new TV delivered this weekend, it’s digital and a flat screen, to replace our 9 year old Sony CRT TV. My question is simple - can we just replace the cables at the back in exactly the same formation as they are in the Sony? I.e. the ones in the current AV1 and AV2 sockets go into the same sockets in the back of the new TV, likewise the analogue aerial into the appropriate socket? This may sound basic but I wonder if, as it’s a digital TV, it needs something more complicated?! (Note we also have Sky satellite and a DVD recorder.) Grateful for advice. (We had to have a TV engineer in when we got a new DVD recorder earlier this year! I’m hoping a new TV won’t cause so many complexities.)

  1. To get the best picture quality for your new tv you should use HDMI cable or component cables. All tv signals are now in digital. From your satellite box you should use HDMI cable to the tv. If you are not a handy person, Best Buy can make the connections for you. They will probably be the less expensive than the rest of the installers around. Hope this will help you out.
