Hi renojim....thank you for your reply yes I should have said Freesat (not freestat) and yes I am in the UK.
My 5yr++ old LG TV had 'unknown to me a built in digital receiver' accordingly I connected the aerial coax to the correct connection and also the old sky box cable to its connection. All this occurred about 1 yr after cancelling Sky subscription
I had not realised this time around I should have looked for another TV with built in digital gubbins!!!
Again thank you for your interest and reply; it looks as though I will need to buy a Freesat box but I will wait to see what reply I get from the TV manufacturers.
Most TVs have a QAM tuner. I don't think many come with DVB-S2 or DVB-T2 compatible tuners. Some Sony models do have sat tuners. You'd be better off getting a set-top box.
