Hi Jamie,
I take it that its an IDTV?
What model is it?
I have the DX40 and it has a loop through at the back to feed the aerial signal through two tuners.
Make sure aerial input 1 receives the aerial first then use the supplied RF cable to loop the signal to aerial input 2 (I hope that makes sense).
If you switch to Digital mode on the TV pressing the i+ (Info) key should bring a menu up. From there press the blue button and you should get access to the digital tuning menu.
Hope this helps,
Damian

How do you rate the DX40? I'm looking at this or the DX50, but can't work out the difference! Curses to Sony and their crazy numbering system.;)

Well this is my second widescreen Sony TV. I rented a non-flat one about 4 years ago, then got a flat screen Panasonic 100hz on rental (which was'nt perfect but none of the Panasonic were) so I went back to Sony. I really liked my original Sony, but this one is good but not as good as I remember the other one was.
The tube has no imperfections which nearly every other set seemed to have but they are just manufactured that little bit more cheeply now. You can tell in the picture sometimes that when theres a lot of movement and light levels increase the whole brightness level of the picture increases\decreases.
I've mentioned this on a few forums and have been told that the power supplies are a bit "cheap" now (I've seen this affect on a Toshiba TV a bit ago as well). Its not awful and my mates don't notice it and I must say it would only affect a small amount of viewing. What is good and why I'm sticking with it is most digital pictures look pretty decent (make most inputs look a bit naff), its a nice design, great, nearly perfect geometry, no strange buzzes or noises from the set and it'll do till I can go LCD or Plasma:)
Cheers Damian.
I've seen the same effect (brightness) on my Tosh 43, and although its a bit weird (for some reason, beige wallpaper always renders poorly) I can certainly live with it. :)
The fact that you care enough to notice makes your other comments recommendation enough.
Thanks,
