Hi All,
Apologies if this seems a daft question.
If you have an HD ready TV with built in Digital tuner (like my tv above) connected to normal aerial - can you receive BBC HD?
In theory if the tv receives the signal and its HD ready would the internal digital tuner handle it?

I ask as I have cancelled sky so I thought I would use ordinary aerial etc and get free view!!

No, BBC HD is a satellite service, not a terrestrial one - even if BBC HD does appear on Freeview it still won't work, because you don't have an HD FreeView tuner (no such thing really exists yet, as any potential service isn't even specified yet).

Thank you for your reply.
I thought that would be the case.

Am I right in thinking that I would prob get better quality picture by using an aerial and the built in free view than I do at the moment with my sky+ box as no scart will be used so no digi-ana-digi conversion needed. Would it depend on what cabling is inside the tv between the tuner and screen?

It woun't make much difference - Sky via RGB SCART is probably just as good (or better) than internal FreeView. It really depends more on the particular program quality and the bandwidth given it.

Thanks again Nigel.
