Replacement TV that works with old (grey) Skybox.

Joe1919

My elderly aunts TV (about 10years old) has gone faulty after power failure (brownout?). I am thinking of getting her a new replacement TV. However, she is very happy with existing Skybox that works via SCART lead. I am aware that SCART lead TVs are no longer freely available (afaik). This SKY box will also work with RF lead as analog channel but will this still work with modern TVs?

There are SCART to HDMI converters, e.g.

You can still get TVs with native SCART too.

It's worth noting that these older non HD Sky boxes won't be able to receive any BBC channels after March 2024. All their channels will be HD only from then.
