    There was a Panasonic Freesat TV from last year that did both internally. It must've been accidental, as Panasonic themselves insisted it could only do MPEG2 Freeview DTT, but it did both MPEG2 and MPEG4 on DTT (shared same MPEG chip with the Freesat tuner I guess).

    I dunno if the current Panasonic Freesat TV's do it though. I think LG have a Freesat TV out/coming out, but again, not sure if it has an MPEG4 DTT tuner to go with it.
