It doesn't seem to have a DVB tuner, though, so it will be quite useless
in a couple of years. (Or at least awkward to use as it will require an
external DVB set-top-box to complement it, which in turn will make it
wasteful, as the external DVB tuner/decoder can't provide it with the
original, uncompressed MPEG-2 data "as is": needless MPEG-2
decompression, digital-to-analog conversion, analog-to-digital
conversion and recompression cycles will ensue.)
For example, up here in Finland, the analog switch-off will happen in
August 2007.
