Is my Hitachi TV 32LD8600 equipped for DVB-C - Symphonic ST419E TV

If the TV is sold in the UK, then yes it has a QAM tuner.

All TVs have to be able to pick up Freeview to legally be sold as a TV in the UK. Freeview is the public name for the DVB-T service which is our Digital Video Broadcast - Terrestrial service. DVB-T is just the standard definition channels. DVB-T2 is the version of Freeview that includes HD as well as SD channels. The QAMs are the way in which the signal is encoded. But it's really a level of detail that you don't need to go to. It's sufficient to know that the tuner is ether DVB-T for SD only, or DVB-T2 to pick up SD and HD.

This is a good indication that the capacitors on the power supply are failing. Is it under warranty? If so, contact Hitachi to find a certified service center. If it isn't, you will have to find somewhere to take it to get the power supply replaced or fixed.

There should be a short circuit at the main power supply regulator board. Check all the rectifier diodes and other components. Check the switching device for short. To get more details, http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

antenna is point in the correct direction?

Sorry your TV is NOT compatibile with DVB-C,DVB-S, DVB-T, or with any other digital technology.
have a nice day

Hi,

Yes, it does.

DV3 is actually DVB meaning Digital Video Broadcasting. The stylised design of the DVB symbol makes it look more like DV3. If the TV has the DVB symbol, then it has a digital tuner and can receive digital channels, i.e. Freeview.

If you need assistance with tuning the Freeview channels or have further questions, please let me know the model number of the TV. This can be found on a label on the back of the TV.

Hi It sounds like you need to re-tune your DVB-Tuner on your TV, NOT the old analogue one, it'll be in settings or setup, or installation and use the "First Time Install" option, because it clears all old channels and loads all fresh new ones! hope this helps!

No unless it has a DVB symbol on the front of the TV. HD means High Definition not Digital
