JB38. Many thanks. Just checked the specs it says "DVB-T/T2(Digital terrestrial services via UHF aerial input)". I will try manual tuning as suggested as soon as I can access the TV - the kids are hogging it! I am surprised that channels are not picked up on auto tune - have got all the other Freeview channels. Will put a progress report for others if they are having same issue. Thanks again.

JB38. Thanks for your patience. Cant get anything on Mux Ch28 - signal strength about 1/2. Signal quality nearly full on first pass but quickly drops off to 0!
Tried also Mux Ch22 - signal strength over 1/2 and quality nearly 10 and tunes to all BBC Channels including Radio but no HD.
Mux Ch25 signal strength and quality same as Mux Ch22 and tunes all ITV, Ch4, More 4, Ch5, E4, both Rabbit channels but no HD!
Aerial is in roof space (conservation area not allowed to install roof aerials!) and there is no booster attached - all Freeview Channels crystal clear just not tuning to HD. Any other thoughts? Many thanks

JB38. I might have solved the problem - I have just been checking HD channels from Waltham transmitter and see that they don't start transmitting until 31 Aug. It is possible that my aerial installer has pointed my aerial at the Waltham transmitter and not Belmont! I will wait until the end of the month and try again and post here if it solves the problem! Thanks for your help.

JB38. Many thanks for your help and advice. I will update my post if anything changes or as you say the problem sorts itself. I bought the TV specifically for the built in HD tuner and it is most annoying that it has not picked up the HD channels! I will probably get onto Panasonice if the problem is not sorted by the end of the month. Thanks again and I will post update.

JB38 and anyone else following this thread - Update. Problem solved. Appears that my aerial was pointing at Waltham and not Belmont which is where according to my post code it should be pointed! Waltham went HD today ....Just re-tuned TV and since I am getting all channels including HD channels through my TV's built in DVB-T/T2 I am happy. Quality is amazing. Thanks to JB38 for the useful suggestions and patience!
