Can't get freeview

Hi Guys
I have been a avid viewer and love the site, but now i need to ask all the tech guys a question which i am sure i will not get a positive answer but here goes

I lived in Australia for the last 3 years, and we now live back here in Scotland, however about 18 months ago i bought a lg plasma tv model 60py3df-aa.
i recieved digital tv in Australia no probs
when i scan for channels here no channels come up, i have done a reset and when you do that the tv asks you to select which state you live in eg Qld,Nsw,Sa, There is no other option

So can i get freeview on this TV ?

Thanks in advance

Have you the TV manual with details of the tuners built in to the set ? In any case if the TV has external video and audio inputs you can use an el cheapo UK freeeview box to get freeview assuming you are in an area that can receive it. If you put your postcode in here it will give an idea as to whether freeview can be recieved.
