I was given a technika hd ready dvbt dvd built in freeview with no instructions.I need instructions how to tune in freeview.It had previously had the freeview tuned in but now the channels are not showing.I have an outside ariel but its coming up signal 0%.My daughters tv works ok with the same ariel she has freeview.Where can i get instructions from.?Thanking you LInda

Does this model of TV have a built in HD receiver? I've had a quick look at the instruction manual and it looks more or less the same as mine at home. I've not got HD tv reception built in but have to use a set top box. If you're in UK, it should have Freeview HD sticker from the box or manual somewhere but as this looks like an early model tv (only 1 HDMI socket) then you may need a HD set top box such as Sky HD or Freeview HD

Hi.

If you are using an external freeview box you need an HD box (See available products).

If you have an LCD TV with built-in HD tuner (TV will say HD Ready and will have internal tuner), then you can use the TV internal tuner.

The best way to get HD is via satellite. Althought HD Freeview is theoretically available since end 2009 I have not been able to receive any HD channel using Freeview tuner, and I live in a London area where HD FV is supposed to be available since 2010.
Even with Free Sat the choice is poor. You get steadily only BBC HD, where at most you can watch some documentary or drama series (it is a kind of sample channel). ITV HD, BBC1 HD and the rest frequencies on Astra change Sat quite often. I am a TV technician and the sat tuning job is not difficult to me but retuning every month was still an awful waste of time.At the end I gave up and I only watch HD through Sky.

At the end of the day the only efficient way to receive HD TV is still through Virgin or Sky.

Make sure you have a good connection from antenna to TV. Check antenna and cable and cable connection to TV. Select DIGITAL button on TV remote when wanting HD channels. Remember HD channels are always digital. Also, any given TV station may not be broadcasting in HD at a given time. They can broadcast in digital but in standard definition sometimes. Your TV has a built-in DVB-T tuner. Try executing a channel scan to pick up all available channels. On-screen menus go to Digital Setup, then Digital Tuning, you can auto-tune or manual tune channels. The TV should take a few min. to scan thru available channels and store the channels its finds. Check with anyone in your area to see if they get HD channels (it is possible to be outside of the range of some TV stations) Your TV is a 2006 model and should still be compatible with local digital TV broadcasts but keep in mind digital signals could change in the near future (DVB-T2) and you may need a tuner/converter box to make the TV compatible.

Visit www.skymediauk.co.uk they have the answer.

HD Ready just means the tv can display HD images from an HD source.

The built-in Freeview box on your tv is not Freeview HD compatible so you'll either have to buy a separate external Freeview HD box or subscribe to an HD satellite or cable service.

In any case, most built in Freeview receivers are of barely adequate picture and reception quality. An external box is usually far better in both respects.

hi the same happened to mine. a22inch freeview dvd.wont pick up a signal when tuning in.Its had very little use ( 150hrs ish) as its in our caravan. we now plug in a separate freeview box via the scart.Tesco dont want to know as it was 3months out of warranty at the time of complaint.Anyway Im meeting Tesco in County court in july. It appears to be a common fault

i need to know this so bad! ive tried everything, and the instructions are a pile of sh!t.

Suddenly my DVD player has stopped playing DVDs I thought I saw an NSTC message come up but is it supposed to be PAL or is that the other way around. Anyway it's not working, it used to but it isn't now. Help please

have fitted a new aerial as tv was connected to sky and now cant get any freeview channels keeps saying no signal what am i doing wrong

go into source and change it onto dtv and do a fti on the unit otherwise to get back to bt digital go into source and change to scart/av/ext if no effect try a new scart lead, if is connected via hd, go into source and change to hdmi this should change it,
