JB38: I'd forgotten the Philips 42PFL7606H/12...every other 3D TV (ie: high level) in 2011 had an HD tuner - but not the Philips. A very odd company, alas, and one which is increasingly irrevelant.

sharealam: I don't think it's HD, it is just on the com7 multiplex. It would be on 108 if it was HD (according to the rules).

sharealam: Thanks, by the way. You're always on the ball with new channels! Yes, it's SD. Al Jazeera Arabic joins Freeview in SD MPEG-4

sharealam: That's because the channel is broadcast in MPEG4 on DVB-T2. But it's not HD.
The Northern Ireland Minimux is also, for example, broadcast in DVB-T2 but only carries three SD channels.

Hi Nick your right there. my panasonic tv shows signal quality 100% signal strength 60%. other channels show 80% also i reduced my booster amp unit to 10db it was 26db.. which was too much for my tv. by reducing it has made it more stable and reliable. No more break ups. Happy days :-)
