Hope someone can help.

Recently purchased a Samsung Model LA26B450C4M TV (with built in FreeView).

I have a UHF and VHF aerial on the roof.

I live in Tuakau. Freeview site says there is a very good chance I get it here.






































They are joined together in a box that adds/mixes the signals.

And Ive hooked in to the back of my TV.













































I used to be able to get Maori channel and Prime on thise setup onmy old TV (with no built in FreeView) which I understand are on UHF. Correct?

I cant figure out how to get Freeview at all?

Ive done a atuotune and I only get Channel 1,2,3 (I think its 3?) now. It only picks up Analogue channels when doing an auto search.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried doing a 'Digital Only' tune? Rather than Digital + Analogue?

Was the TV second hand?
If so - it's time to do a full factory reset (details will be in the manual) and try again.
If not, it could be a hardware issue.

Was a family members who moved.

TV specs say "IDTV; 1080p24-input ready". So I should be able to plug the co-ax aerial cable in where its shown (according to the Freeview set up site)

I reset it also.
