Do you have the original remote that came with the set?
Can you post a picture of the remote?

Agreed I was hoping to be able to make out the print adjacent to the buttons...oh well.
There is enough info in the pic which tells me that is a replacement remote rather than the original Hitachi remote supplied with the set when new.
Tell me...how many buttons are there on the front of the set?
Can you tell me what's printed below them?

So start by putting the TV on Prog 1 and search using the vol buttons as described above until you find BBC1 from your local transmitter...as you approach the channel you will notice the icon on the upper LHS change colour...the idea is to have the middle square red in colour...as you tune it may go yellow...just "stab" the vol up/down buttons gently in either direction until it changes to red...this is the point of best tuning and you want to store it at this position so just press the "preset" button on the remote to store BBC1 on Prog1.
Repeat for all other channels.
