No digital signal on BBC1 or 2

[salymap]

I have at least three booklets aboutthe changeover S-A. The general BBC number seems to be

0800 40 85 918 BBC HELPLINE FOR OVER 65s

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.

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

Forget which event I'm not prepared to say

This may take some minutes, and your equipment may shut down and re-start.


Best of luck!

Many thanks for this vints - and there was me thinking this was another side-effect of the flippin' diabetes

. . . Select 'set up' or 'installation' option. . . . 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' . . .

For what it's worth: My "menu" doesn't come up with any of that, so I went for "scan channels", the only option available. Bravely pressed the button and the scan finished with 4 analogue and 116 digital channels. Radio Times being no help at all, the problem now is to remember all the new channel numbers, although the remote has a button marked Pro.LIST which does have all the new channels.
Btw. I'm on the Hannington transmitter (W.of London).

S-A - HTH

I confess that I use my telly very rarely & I'm going to wait til it's all settled down, get myself a Freeview digibox & plug it all in just the once to sort it. Not much help to you, I'm afraid, S_A

. Radio Times being no help at all the problem now is to remember all the new channel numbers,

... but the Radio Times does give the numbers on the freeview pages - eg BBC3 is 7, BBC4 is 9, ITV2 is 6, ITV3 is 10, E4 is 28, More4 is 14, Film4 is 15, etc
