if you purchase a HD freeview box, you can get BBC HD and C4 HD i certainly know of,its just that the normal channels BBC1,BBC2,ITV etc are still in SD.

Absolute rubbish, Freeview is not broadcast in HD.

So if the TV's internal upscaler is better than the one in the HDMI Freeview box, the HDMI Freeview box provides no advantage

I wouldn't say no advantage, if it's upscaling from scart it's still going through an analogue step, which isn't ideal.

apologies about my other post, i obviously got mixed up with freeview and freesat. i knew what i was on about lol.
have a look here http://www.freesat.co.uk/index.php?page=whatson.Main

you can receive a few HD channels through Freesat as long as you buy the HD Freesat reciever box,and have a satelite dish to use it with, the Sky dishes are more than capable of recieving:)

A " few " means one part time BBC channel, sporadic HD programmes on ITV and one commercial HD Channel that isn't even part of the Freesat line up, and certainly isn't worth watching....wonderful.:rolleyes:

Only half true, there are HD DBB-T transmissions in other countries, and presumably set top boxes that can receive them. Why would a HDMI box sold in the UK exclude such a feature?

Also an sufficently fast PC with a DVB-T receiver would be able to receive any Freview HD transmission which may be made in the future.

No, it's completely true. DBB-T transmissions in other countries are not Freeview. There is no such thing as a Freeview HD box.

Does anyone know what could be wrong with the digital thats built in the TV? When I go into menu and select Digital TV it just shows up as a blank screen. One moment we were watching freeview TV and the next nothing

Try retuning it. If not, then try reloading factory settings.

You don't live on the south coast by any chance?
There was a retune announcement for the 25th March if you live in these areas

A retune is worth a try anyway.
