I though you have Sat - Don't know how it works (or even needed) for aerial antenna - Or if HD is possible over arial ???
Anyway - this is only related to "receiving TV signal" and not part of this discussion actually...

One thing is clear - Beacuase of Loacal Set change the Sat configuration (and maybe also cable/arial) has changed and a new channel scann is recommended... Don't know were this has to be made for H-Series.

Please keep in mind: HD in EU costs something mostly! In GER for instance only main 4-5 programs (and unneeded homeshopping rubish) are free to receive in HD - For all others (good ones) you have to pay....
I would recommended to see whats possible in UK with aerial antenna... For sure not much!
Cable or SAT is the way to be :-)

That's Germany's choice, check on sat how many French (for example) FTA channels there are :D
About 30 HD channels on air though, but nice dead end since they now prefer to sell high band (~700Mhz) to mobile phone providers. As a consequence HD quality has been drastically reduced recently and crushed hope for anything new in the future...

Anyway, just to clarify:
-Yes, hbbTV (or similar "data service") exists on air.
-Of course HD exists on air too ;)
-Non-UK (or other countries already using DVB-T2) models don't have hardware DVB-T2 tuner, simple as that. Afaik you'd need H6400U
