I lost BBC1 and BBC2 on one TV yesterday for some reason and had to do a retune. One of lifes little mysteries. A friend couldn't get any digital programmes from their freeview box which kept saying 'no signal'. I took my good tv round and it was A OK on the same aerial. After lots of trials and head scratching I eventually set the freeview box (a Humax I think) to manufacturer default through the menu, did a retune and everything sprang to life. (If only operating systems were so simple to fix.) George |
