The set, generically, is the KD55XD8005. The last letters are country variants, e.g. the KD55XD8005BAEP is for Germany, and BU is the UK variant. There is no physical set that is just KD55XD8055, but many reputable U.K. dealers who do not handle grey imports take the BU as a given,

 

In Spain, for example, HD comes over the 'SD' tuner, DVB-T1, so Samsung, at least, economise by not putting a DVB-T2 tuner in their Spain/Portugal models. I don't know if Sony do this, but they might well.

 

As long as you get a BU, though, (if you are in the U.K., or whatever your country variant is if you are not), and not a grey import with some other code on the end, don't worry.

Thanks for this info. I'll go for the BU, then.
