I am extremely grateful for the replies received and the level of knowledge that far outweighs mine.
I have taken on board the various comments and replies and note the following.
The TV works fine with the aerial – a new installation by a reputable local company (excellent Check-a-trade reviews)
The store I purchased the unit from – Currys – were very helpful in setting up the 2000T in the shop and getting it to work. I also took it to my son – who is far more tech savvy than his father – and the whole set-up worked.
The reply regarding the aerial connection got me thinking and I had a look at this and after fiddling with it, hey presto the unit kicked into life and the signal was received.
So no fly lead – this isn’t mentioned anywhere in the literature that I can find. Connection to TV via HDMI.
It all seems to work now and I would like to thank again all those that have taken the time to think about this and post a reply.
Glad it’s now working for you.
