When the Sony 32" receives a Freeview SD signal,

Does its builtin Freeview receiver also deliver *HD* Freeview?

Somewhere I saw a mention of "DVB-T" but not "DVB-T2".

(Or does "DVB-T" mean "DVB-T1 & T2" here?)

The model in question, the W5500 can only receive SD Freeview, it only has a
DVB-T tuner, you need DVB-T2 to receive UK Freeview HD channels.

None of the xx5500 range supports DVB-T2.

You need one of the current range, EX403 or above (503,703 etc) and 32 inch or
above for T2.

(Be careful, I don't think the 26 and 22 inch sets at the bottom of that page
do support T2, despite the search filter letting them through ?

Jeez, at those prices I would still go with the xx5500 range and
add e.g. a Humax Foxsat HDR PVR to get HD Freesat.
(Flat is already equipped with twin satellite feeds.)

You could get a 5810 that has HD Freesat built in ?

Can see no reference there to *twin* Freesat receivers (so can
'watch one and record another'), nor to 'HD' Freesat.

No, it's only got a single tuner. It does receive HD Freesat broadcasts however.
