Currys owner DSG International is to stop selling analogue television sets and DVD recorders.
The company said that it has stopped placing orders for analogue-only equipment. It added that 90% of all televisions sold in Currys, PC World and on the Dixons website have digital tuners.
"We are concerned at the high volumes of analogue TVs still on sale in the UK and we favour early transition to a digital only range," said Currys managing director Peter Keenan. "Digital provides a better deal for customers and reduces waste by removing the requirement for soon-to-be-obsolete analogue tuners in our TV range and the unnecessary purchase of extra digital set-top boxes."
In 2004, Dixons led the campaign to stop selling VCRs.
