Hi Larry
I'm definitely getting AD on Freeview. But we have a Sky Plus box, though
we aren't currently subscribed to Sky, and I also use the AD facility on
that. So far, so good!
Kind Regards,

Hi Jackie
So glad you are enjoying your Toshiba TV. I had to get them tto give me a
full refund as at times even though AD was on it wasn't coming through. This
went on for 3 months before they eventually agreed to give me a full refund.

Hi Carol et al
Well, we've bought a Toshiba model which has a nice remote control with
spaced out buttons. The AD button is below the number seven, where the star
would be on a telephone keypad. The AD button is a toggle, so it saves
going into the menu to turn it on. Freeview is built into the TV, and the
sound is reasonable for the price. It is just a pity the channels and other
info isn't spoken.
Kind Regards,

We purchased a very low-end 17-inch (or there abouts) TV just a little while
back from John Lewis but can't remember its make off hand (senile moment),
but it does have freeview built in. Although its own speaker isn't that
brilliant, we have plugged in our Goodmans speakers and it's sounding pretty
good now. It's almost as good as our previous model which, I recall, cost
us £800 several years ago and didn't have freeview.
