Hi. I have a Philips Flat TV with built-in Freeview. Also the set carries the HD Ready logo. In the listing magazine the Freeview numbers are shown. For instance BBC3 is Freeview 7.

To watch in HD it is listed as Freeview 54. But my TV is just a blank screen on 54. What am I doing wrong? Many thanks for advice.

PS: I have read that HD ready means the set is capable of displaying HD but not necessarily capable of receiving HD. That's confusing.

Full HD doesn't have a built in HD tuner.
Freeview HD has a built in HD tuner.

A HD ready set can't show HD via 1080 lines only via 720 lines!

And I still get HD, so hopefully we're all happy.

I thought I half understood it until I read this, and now I'm worse than ever.

I'll stick with my monster CRT tele until it goes bang.
