Fullchat has bought the same Panasonic model as me - it has both a Freeview and Freesat HD tuner with DVB-T2 technology in the case of the former transmissions.
I've had mine since around the middle of March.
>>MPEG4/DVB-T2 transmissions started late last year I think>>
If you read my previous posting again, you will note that I stated Freeview HD transmissions commenced from Winter Hill in December but, unfortunately, suitably equipped TVs only arrived about six to eight weeks later and STBs even later...:-)
By a happy coincidence, Panasonic's first 2010 TV release from its wide range was the one that I had decided would be exactly right for my requirements (TX-P42G20).
Transmissions are on Channel 50 for BBC HD, 51 for ITV1 (some people use only this channel for ITV1 as it's often either enhanced or full HD) and 52 for Channel Four.
Some people have been having problems whenever having to re-tune Freeview channels as a number of Welsh channels are included following the introduction of HD. The secret is to only plug in the TV aerial when the 21-68 tuning bar scale reaches 53, which eliminates the (perhaps) unwanted channels.
