I have just bought a goodmans inegrated digital tv lcd/dvd combo from argos

Should I have received a TV that will receive freeview?

It doesn`t

Yes it should have digital TV (freeview) if it says integrated.

There should be a button on the remote the allows you to switch to digital.

There might be a DVB logo on the box and/or TV.

Do you have a link to the TV?

The term integrated in this case, just refers to the DVD player. There is no mention of a freeview tuner. This is possibly a good thing if it would have been a Goodmans model.

There is no guarantee that you can get freeview reception. So much depends upon your aerial,its type, orientation and your location with respect to the transmitter. Did you check the availablity of terrestrial freeview via [font=Verdana, Arial]www.dtg.org.uk/consumer/coverage.html.

is very helpful at explaining freeview matters. If neighbours can get freeview then there is a good chance you can too.

Don't but a freeview box from Argos. They have a ridiculous returns policy with these items. Try and pick up a cheap model from ASDA, Tescos etc. You can get your money back if it does not work.
