Default Digital TV Question

Hi not sure if this has been asked before but i have a question if anyone can give me a yes or no answer??

Ok my Panasonic Plasma TV has a built in digital TV tuner and i want to know will the tuner pick up the digital channels over here or not?
Has anyone bought one over with a built in tuner that works or will i have to buy a seperate set top box?

Cheers dayle..

Our sony one sort of does. It picks up SBS digital but none of the others. Would have liked the ABC channels in digital so will need a digi box.

Your in-built tuner will not work as the Aus and UK systems are different. However, a simple purchase of a set top box will resolve this issue, so definitely take the TV.
