channels again, press MENU, select “Digital TV” by

6. Please note the included portable antenna may only be
used in areas where signal is very strong. There may be
difficulties in receiving signal with the portable antenna
in some regions at present, this is due to the fact that
Freeview (www.freeview.co.uk) is yet to operate in full
power in the UK. The government aims to achieve a full
switchover by 2012, which will occur in stages, region by
region between 2008 and 2012, at present the quality of
Freeview reception varies in different regions across the UK.

As mentioned on the Freeview website, only 73% of the
UK population is able to receive Freeview at present.
Reception may be affected by various factors such as
proximity to transmitters, tall building structures, thick
walls, ceilings and etc. An aerial adapter is also provided
for connecting the device with a rooftop aerial where the
signal is not sufficient for the small antenna included.

process, occasional pixel anomalies may occur. Pixel anomalies cannot be fixed
or repaired and can happen at any stage in the LCD's life. August products should
not be deemed as faulty if there are no more than three bright and dark pixels
respectively.

2.Portable TV antennas included in the box are for people to watch Freeview TV
in areas where the signal is very strong and there may be difficulties in receiving
signal with the included portable antennas in some regions at present. This is due
to the fact that Freeview is yet to operate in full power in the UK. August Tvs
should not be deemed as faulty if it can receive Freeview by connecting to a
proper digital rooftop aerial.
