The tuner in my 52 inch HDTV Samsung is analogue.
How old is your set?
Is it Plasma or LCD?
With the launch of digital transmission each station decides whether to transmit SD Digital or HD Digital.
Transmitting SD allows a station to transmit a number of channels over the same bandwidth they are allocated.
Some Stations will go for content (More channels) whilst others may decide to go for quality transmission ((less channels).
For Example ABC2 in my town now transmits Channel 2, Channel 21, Channel 22, Channel 23, & Channel 24.
Channel 10 now transmits HD Channel 1 and SD Channels 10, 11, & 12.
Your HD or Full HD set will upscale the transmission to match your screen.
Your TV won't be junk.
You'll just have to buy a STB.
Initially expensive (early models sold for 30,000 baht in Australia - I know - ridiculous).
You can buy STB now which does the full range analogue, SD & HD Digital) for 1,000 baht. These come with their own remote control.
The Sony PS3 Playstation also has a built in STB.
