I've just bought an Sharp LCD Aquos TV with integrated freeview. Does anyone know how to tune into Freeview? Many thanks for your help!

Hi! Yes - it has a manual but nothing about tuning it for freeview. This is what I have done so far:
Clicked DTV on the remote
Clicked menu
Chose setup
Chose channels
At this point it automatically tunes the tv but it will only pick up terrestrial tv. I have even been back to the shop and these are the instructions they have given me but still no luck - do I need a different aerial? I have even been on www.freeview.co.uk It just says plug it into the socket, plug it into the aerial and thats it! Maybe I've bought a duff tv???

It may not be called Freeview anywhere on the television. Japanese manufacturers make their televisions with the USA market in mind so they don't always give things the same names that we would do. (They also can't spell so you get things like "analog" and "color")
On the remote there will be a button which allows you to switch between Analogue (ordinary tv) and Digital (Freeview). It may be labelled with an abreviation of these words, or something similar.
You really must read your handbook that came with the television. This will tell you how to set up the channels and the automatic tuning. The book may not use the word Freeview so you'll need to think a bit.

You don't state the model number, people seldom do!! Check that it's not like a Pioneer media box which has separate aerial inputs for terrestial and digital tv, with a loop-in. It should tune by itself if you have a strong enough signal.

Are you sure you can actually receive Freeview in your area?
Freeview is only available across about 75% of the U.K. There are still many parts of the country that cannot receive it at all.
