no full hd does not mean it has an hd tuner, it means the tv has the capability to show hd content from another source like bluray or skyhd connected to tv thro hdmi leads or similer

as far as i know any tv set or box that can pick up terrestrial hd should say "freeview hd" on it,
freeview is the digital slogan for aerial tuners as opposed to freesat, sky or cable.
i dont ever remember any tv being sold with "analogue" all over it, and its much the same thing.
sorry about the full hd but i think it will be the level of hd its capable of showing from another source, ie- dvi, component or hdmi ? from 720i to 1080p ?
not 100% sure on the figures as hd hasn't really excited me

Briantist: I've done one of my regular set top box re-scans, and today the Channel 5 + 1 logo has appeared on the freeview channel line-up, on channel 10. It will be broadcasting on the SDN multiplex, along with it's sister channels 5* and 5USA. For channel 5 + 1 to be able to be broadcast would mean that a channel already on the multiplex will have to go to make room for it surely?
A few weeks back, Arqiva changed the parameters of the com6 Arqiva multiplex to enable it to gain an extra 3mb of capacity to broadcast an extra tv channel, thus taking the maximum channels broadcast on a multiplex at one given time to 9. Brain, do you know whether it's the intention of Arqiva to change the parameters of all the commercial multiplexes to 27.1 MBS? it so, that would mean 36 SD channels up from the current 32. Making 44 SD channels in all counting the BBC ones.
Along with channel 5+1, i've noticed that they've also added Top up Anytime 5 on channel 44 and 6 on channel 311 to the same multiplex.

Considering the atrocious reception I get from FV I would cheerfully throttle the clowns responsible for this advert

@John Ledbury - which transmitter are you using, guessing a central postcode (don't give yours) the centre of Wisbech should get a decent signal from Belmont: Postcode Checker - Trade View

@Greebo - hi n thanks. PE13 - I point at Belmont and had great recep on all stations inc Film4(so it's not the aerial at fault) until the retune in summer 2011 when lots of channels disappeared. I've been retuning and defaulting and faffing around ever since. I get some stations from E Yorks and mids, some from E Mids and some from Cambs n Beds. I seem to get best from E Mids (even there no Film4, but at least there's SkyNews and Food etc) and was contemplating turning the aerial. But if I do will FV muck it all up again in a few months' time?
