Samsung LCD TV LE37M87BD

Hello Everyone!
We live in Spain and we bought the above TV about 2 years ago.
We have a Communial Ariel to connect for the TV.
We bought the above TV which was supposedly Full HD. (That is what it had "Full HD2 on the paper fixed to the TV when we bought it.)
After the Digital TV came in, in place of analogue - we were never able to get HD transmisions. We thought that this was because the members of the community had opted for the cheaper ariel of a choice of two.
We also had a smaller TV which has just 'died' and is not repairable. So we have bought a Toshiba HD Ready TV in it's place.
Surprise, surprise, when automatically tuning it in, it receives HD with NO PROBLEM!
How on earth can I get HD programmes on the Samsung - which cost an arm and a leg when it was bought?!

Than ks for any input, in advance.

colinito,

I can only speak on US-based products. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer because I don't know what kind of tuner your specific model has.

If you'd like troubleshooting with your LE37M87BD, contact the Samsung customer service center in your region.

HD Tech,
Thanks, I will try to find someone to explain the technical details in Spanish - I'm OK for conversation, but technical matters are a little out of my range, which is why I came here!

Further to my question above,I spoke to the outlet where I bought the TV and they said that there is no reason why I can not get HD!! No advice was given just the Spanish 'shrug of the shoulders'!!
I have my ariel connected through a Samsung DVD/VCR combi. Could it be that this combi cannot receive digital signals and will not therefore allow the full HD TV to get the HD?
I have tried to tune the combi in to the digital signal and store the channels, but it only finds analogue signals. There is no instruction in the user manual to indicate how to find analogue and/or digital, just the 'search' option of automatic or manual.
Now, for some reason, I am unable to get the "Channel" selection in the set-up programme on the TV!
One problem after another!
Any further advice would be gratefully received!
Thank you,

Colinito
