No digital signal on BBC1 or 2

Is anyone else in the London area experiencing this? No announcements or apologies, but the other digital channels seemed unaffected.

I had to get the manuals out to remind myself what plugged in where. Hope this isn't a sign for the future, after the switchover

You have to re-tune, if you are on freeview, both today and again on 18 April, as part of the digital switchover. I did it this morning - all working fine now.

There have been a fair number of notices that this was happening - both on-screen and in the press.

Thanks Vints.

Any advice on this? I kind of received my freeview box from friends about to leave the country, but no accompanying manual; plugged in by trial and error and, hey presto, all was as should be.

Where have you been S-A? It's been advertised everywhere. Click on menu, opt for full scan. Only BBC2 is updating today, five other analogue channels on the 18th April, my birthday.

I also got Dave and Dave ja vu back, and somewhat improved signal levels on others.

Thanks, Vints and saly

It eventually worked by going to "autotune" on the digital menu - once I'd found the correct remote!

Chosen especially no doubt, salymap so that we wouldn't forget

Forget which event I'm not prepared to say

You should be able to do this with your remote.
Turn telly on, in digital mode.
Press 'menu'.
Select 'set up' or 'installation' option. If there are picture icons, select tool box, satellite dish, or spanner.
If prompted for a code try 0000 or 1234.

Select the full re-tune option. This is sometimes called 'first time installation', 'factory reset' 'default settings' or 'shipping conditions'.
Do not select 'channel update' or 'add channels'
Press OK if your equipment asks if you want to delete all your channels - don't worry: this is normal.

Channels should be installed automatically. This may take some minutes, and your equipment may shut down and re-start.


Best of luck!
