I am interested in this discussion about the HMV 1805 because it was our first TV set.
I understand they were well regarded in the trade.

What I want to ask is this, if 1805 was the London model and the 2805 was for Birmingham, would our set, receiving Holme Moss, be a returned 1805?

Or to put it another way, was the front-end of the two models capable of being tuned to any BI channel and the 2805 was just a convenience to save the dealer some time.
