HD tele, problems getting HD programmes. Help please

Hi

Have just taken a delivery of a Sanyo Full HD tv with freeview built in. It says I should be able to receive freeview HD channels.

Have tried auto tune to check all channels and it cannot find any channels. Have been on the freeview website and used the checker and it says I should get some HD channels.

Help, could it be a problem with the tv or could the local transmitter not have HD on it????

Any ideas, thanks

    Are you sure you TV has a Freeview HD tuner?
    Many don't, but that does not stop them being described as a full HD set which refers to the screen resolution only.

    As above check your transmitter, ours, Waltham only started transmitting the four HD channels (BBC1,BBCHD,ITV and Channel4) in August after switchover.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
