We have a Freeview HD telly and a Freeview recorder box thingy. We can get the HD channels through the recorder but not via the telly only.

Hope that makes sense...

Sorry, it's a HD ready telly...

Yes but you must connect using a HDMI cable. Do not pay a fortune for the HDMI cable either.

So if a freeview hd recorder is connected to hd ready telly via hdmi cable you would get the HD channels through said box ?

Yes MM.

If I watch telly using my telly as the receiver I can't see the HD channels. But if I watch using the box as the receiver I do.
