Samsung LE22B450 (Limited free view)

Hi, I've bought the above model as a PC monitor and TV. The set works fine as a monitor, but it's only managed to find 6 free view channels in the set up, and they're all BBC channels!!

I have a Panasonic 37" plasma with free view built in and that finds all of the channels. Both sets are connected up to the same aerial. I haven't upgraded the aerial because it's worked ok with the Panasonic.

Any ideas as to what's wrong??

Thanks.

BBC is usually the strongest Multiplex so it could be that your aerial signals are weak.

You haven't stated how the aerial is split between Panasonic TV and Samsung monitor.

Take the aerial lead out of the rear of the Panasonic TV and try it connected to the Samsung to see if this gives more freeview channels. If so you need to sort out your aerial connections. Possibly try a TV booster/amplifier.
