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
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 H6400

thanks for all your help and advice, guess ill have to live without the hd channels or get a sat, or sell tv and get another.
