[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 703652, member: 323322"] Glad to have brought it to your attention then! Sadly, manufacturers are increasingly designing them out of Satellite Receivers - although Sky Boxes still have them. One reason is cost (although that's probably a feeble excuse), but generally it seems that the thinking is to have dedicated tuner(s) at each viewing position. Not a bad idea in these days of HD, I suppose, but there are still many of us who like the idea of local RF distribution. You can get external modulators - or even make use of VCRs by looping SCART in to them. Bit regressive, though! [/QUOTE]
