Richard Davis: The Philips 5605 does NOT have a DVB-T2 tuner fitted (only DVB-T) and so is only an HD ready set, meaning that it is capable of showing an HD image but only if fed into it from an external source via one of its HDMI sockets.

I have no idea why anyone thinks I should try picking up Midhurst. Whitehawk hill is a mere 2 miles away, and according to Digital UK my postcode BN1 8RE should get a good service from Whitehawk Hill.
A 4KW mast 2 miles away? Got to be romping in?

jb38 - Thanks for confirming my fears about the Philips 5605. Oh well, I'm no worse off than I was before - I can still get HD via the Humax box, and the Philips displays it well as you said. By the way, is there a web site where you can find out which TVs have HD tuners?

spencer: The "Digital UK trade view" box on the right hand side of your posting continually indicates that you have entered RH138DF as being your location and everything said was based on that, Horsham also appearing at the right hand side of the time the posting was made.
I did though have a suspicion that something wasn't quite right and thats why I added the qualification to the original posting.
Have a look at the "for an enhanced Freeview reception prediction" box at the very top right hand side of this page to make sure nothing has been entered into the box, as the code referred to was also on your 5.35pm posting.

Richard Davis: Ref: your query regarding any possible Web site listings of tuners used in TV's or boxes, unfortunately to my knowledge anyway there isnt! as I just generally check on this sort of thing by having a quick look at either the service (or user) manual for the device in question, the range of manuals I use being mostly in PDF format but with a few exceptions where more complex devices are concerned.

@Richard Davis:
You could always get a freeview HD set top box if want to keep your TV?
Richer Sounds have some good ones.
The Humax Fox-T2 can record Freeview HD.

I live in Shoreham-by-Sea and have a new arial pointing to Whitehawk, my new LG TV with Freeview HD cannot find the HD channels with Autotune. Should I do a manual tune of Channel 51 (714.0MHz) to recieve the pachage of channels that include BBC1 HD, ITV1 HD, Ch4 HD & BBC HD ?
Look forward to your reply. Many thanks.
