Briantist,
What is the difference? I have an AVerTV Volar HD tuner. This whole thing is turning into a nightmare. I originally bought a Samsung T260HD monitor, which claimed to have an incorporated HD tuner. Now it's beginning to seem this is not the case. So I bought the AVerTV tuner to check that I was really receiving HD signals.
The tuner says on the box 'HDTV H.264/MPEG-2 Live TV' and also 'The latest AVerTV 6 [...] by supporting up to 1080i high definition TV viewing [...] offers users to watch and record HDTV programs with H.264 and MPEG-2 formats.'

Many thanks to both of you for clearing up a mystery which has been driving me mad for the last couple of months. So I have two HD tuners, neither of which can receive Freeview HD signals.
Before I start to save up for a DVB-T2 tuner, could I ask what the quality is like on these channels? Are they badly compressed? I ask, because the idea of getting a dish and FreeSat is beginning to look more and more feasible.

I have just bought an HDTV tuner for my computer. However, I am not receiving any HD channels. I have tried manually tuning channel 31, but that didn't work. I am getting 98% - 100% signal on all the other Freeview channels.
My aerial is pointing due west at the strongest signal source, which I take to be the Crystal Palace transmitter. I am in Bracknell, Berks. I understand that HD broadcasts are currently being broadcast.
I just wondered whether anyone has any other suggestions for me to try, before I finally explode from frustration.
Many thanks.
