TV Arial Input
This may sound like a stupid question ... and maybe it is, but please bear with me 
. What is the technical name for the aerial socket on a tv? You know, just the regular analogue aerial that plugs in the back?
Reason I want to know is that I want to buy a flat screen TV on line but I need it to have this aerial input because we have cabled Sky TV around the house with those magic eye things and it plugs into the TV through the aerial socket. But when I look at the specs it talks about different types of input (SCART etc) but doesn't mention regular aerial. Now I would assume they wouldn't sell a TV you couldn't plug a regular aerial into, but you never know, maybe on modern TV's they assume you will have a Sky or Freeview box that connects with a SCART socket.
I guess I could check out the model I want in a shop if I can find it then buy it online but if anyone can help that would be nice.
Feel free to laugh if this is a dumb question
