You simply need to perform the auto-setup when you first use the television. The freeview HD channels will tune in at the same time as the standard def. (SD) channels. You will find them in your channel list but there are only 3 freeview HD channels currently available - BBC HD (Channel 50), ITV1 HD (Channel 51) and Channel 4 HD (Channel 52).

If these channels are missing, it's may be because the HD broadcasts haven't started in your area yet. Please visit this page and enter your postcode to find out if you can get these channels:

If you've gone past the auto-setup and you need information on how to tune your TV, please consult your manual or post back here and I will assist you.

Please rate this solution if you find it helpful. Thanks.

How to Get Freeview?

First check you have the right ariel on roof or you have a good indoor digital type.
Check you can get a good signal in your area, ask a neighbour perhaps.
Make sure your TV has Freeview receiver built in or capable of accepting HD Top box Freeview.
Tune your device...auto tune or whatever and save the channels to TV memory.
(If you have a Satelite dish you can get Freeview that way but you will need a FreeSat box)...Aim for the Astra 28 degree Sat, you will get stacks of channels and all the Plus+1s and even more stuff from the rest of the world which is good if you're learning Hindi, French, Russian, Chinese etc etc...English even
It's all very easy to get going...

How do i tune my SAMSUNG PS42S5H for high definition channels

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

How do i tune lg 26lc2r which is connected to cable for freeview

Freeview comes from an aerial; Freesat comes from a dish. If your TV does not have a satellite tuner, it will not tune channels from a dish.

I have an LCD HDTV BLA. I have Freeview and

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.

Regards.

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...

hi,
First of you have to check the Atenna connection in the rare of your tv. Check for any loose contact on the connection of the wire to the pin. may be its the cause for showing signal as 0%. you can confirm the same by connecting the tv at the place where you doughters tv is connected. If there you get the picture then there is some thing wrong with the atenna connection.

If want information how to tune your tv then need information like BRAND and MODEL NUMBER of you TV.
ok
