    Just got one, cheaper on Littlewood's &€703. Still playing with the functions, seems to be a problem with the EPG for the satellite.

    Yes it does have a tuner, that is one of the reasons I bought it, and it works.
    I emailed Sony today and this is the reply i got ;

    Dear
    Thank you for contacting Sony support. We are sorry to learn that you are experiencing difficulties receiving EPG information for Satellite channels on your Sony KDL-50W755C.
    In regards to your query, please note that EPG information for Satellite channels is received by the TV as sent by the broadcaster; so this is not related to the TV’s functionality.
    Please provide us with the serial number allocated on the back of the device for registration purposes.
    Should you have any further questions, please feel free to reply to this email.
    Yours sincerely,
    Sally

    I have replied to that saying my set top box tells me at the very least 'whats on now' and 'whats on next'

    so the information is out there....

    clogher71, You are some how mistaken there, the SONY KDL-50W755C only has a DVB-T2 (digital terrestrial) HD tuner, for over the air/aerial reception & DVB-C (digital cable) for cable TV reception.

    That set does not have a 'DVB-S2' Satellite Tuner to receive Satellite channels.
    So it is not at all possible to get the satellite epg

    Unless the satellite is supplied by freesat or sky, it will not have a week long epg (just now and next). If you have a Linux box, there's ways around this but the 7 day epgs are currently proprietary to sky and freesat branded boxes and tv sets.

    Sorry guys , I am not a big into technology, but the tv does pick up BBC 1 etc from my free to air satellite, so at least I was expecting 'now and next' function for tv listings, I do understand I will not get a full 7 day guide. Was I missed informed in the shops?
