    Hi guys

    I had an old 37 inch Philips TV in the bedroom and had the 17 upc analogue channels in it. I got a 40inch h Sony and when I auto tune it only picks up e4. Ch4 and discovery. Any idea why or if I can manually enter the other channels and if so what are the settings? Thanks in advance.

    What country setting did you use on installation? On previous Sony TVs if you used UK it disabled the VHF tuner but if you used Ireland the VHF tuner was available. I doubt they've removed the VHF tuner option considering cable TV here still uses the VHF band.

    They haven't made any sort of announcement on this yet. The still had 32,000 analogue-only TV subscribers at the end of Dec, not to mention digital TV and broadband subscribers who use the analogue channels on their secondary and main TVs.

    Many of the digital customers also use the analogue, so not as cut and dried as people think. Massive repercussions for them in switching it off.

    think they use the hd channel at the headend so the hd logo still comes up even though it is far from it.

    That wasn't the case last time I checked, the SD feed was still used on analogue.
