Thanks Slav. Question for you - is this tuner part of a 'daughterboard' that could be user-replaced? Or is it soldered to the main board of the TV?

yeah, same here - i can see the option and change it but it doesnt 'stick'. I suspect its not as simple as just changing the setting, and we have a physically different tuner.

thanks nortyvorty - I think that tells us what we need to know - different tuner. damn.

thanks!

I did wonder about that, but I suspect the DVB-T2 tuner is physically different. If some kind soul with a UK model of a similar TV could post their service menu or just tell us what Tuner type they have (ours are both SI_TCS2) that would be really helpful

Hi, I bought a UE46F5500 from pixmania and failed to notice their warning that it would not come with Freeview HD. The TV they shipped me was a EU Benelux model, with a DVB-T tuner (no DVB-T2 for Freeview HD). I have since set the region properly via the Service menu, so the TV is properly set to UK...
