I would love to see you challenge Argos - they are advertising Freeview HD
TVs. When you complain to the ASA post the complaint reference number and
let us all know how you get on.

That looked suspiciously like sarcasm, suggesting that you really believe
that these sets will be able to receive Freeview HD. They will not.

No, they are advertising the new Sony Freeview HD televisions, which
will be "available March 2010". See page 358 of their catalogue.

The only Freeview HD items on the Argos website are the Humax HD-FOX T2
and the Bush DVB680 which are not yet in stock.

There is one mis-described box: "Panasonic DMR-XS350EB-K HD Freeview+
DVD Recorder". It is actually a Freesat device which is made clear in
the details (even if mis-spelled) "Twin freestat tuner".

Hmm... I think I'll wait for the Sony KDL-40LX903 which not only has
Freeview HD but also 3D in HD (with shuttered glasses). Sometime this
summer...

om...
Yes indeed, all the waiting has been because they did not use a system
that conventional chips can handle, so now the chips are around, its yet
another bloody box.

What great foresight and planning.. Oh, Sorry, I forgot, this is all
deliberate to make sure nobody ever has to NOT buy a new device.

Actually, in this instance, nobody HAS to buy a new device, and a bet an
awful lot of people will not be buying
