19-Sep-2007 RS: I have just purchased this TV and used the auto tune to tune it in. I previously had freeview via a box so I thought having freeview built into the TV would be much easier. I cannot find any freeview channels, the auto tune only tuned to the std 5 channels. The user manual doesnt really cover the topic of freeview. Please advise how to obtain all the channels. Thanks

26-Mar-2008 Dave: Bought this tv a few months ago, the good - picture is fantastic with stunning detail, the bad - sound quality is truly awful, the internal speakers are totally inadequate even at low volume. Can you recommend an external speaker package to go with it? I have it installed in a bedroom so it doesn't need to go loud - just not make me cringe at the tinnyness. Thanks
