Right then, I've searched everywhere and it's mixed bag of answers as to whether new Samsung's can receive all Freeview channels (Dave, Quest, etc etc). I"d say 85% of the results I find say no they cannot receive these channels and to do so would require a separate Freeview box. But then there's the 15% saying they do and that ALL TV's can receive Freeview?. Surely then if those 15% were correct then there would be no market for the separate boxes.
I read about Samsung's having an issue with Freeview and were no longer allowed to sell their TV's with freeview in the specs? I see Sony has both Freeview and Freesat tuners built in as does our present chicken foot Samsung but Samsung only specifies 'play tv'?. I have no idea what that is.
Anyhow we've see a lovely looking 43in Samsung but if it requires a separate box and therefore a second remote we'll go for the 43in Sony we saw instead.
Oh I should say I'm talking about Freeview and NOT Freeview Play.
