Hi, I have an inbult digital TV (Post code BN3 2HA). I have been unable to get any BBC channels for some time, I dont get a no signal / signal could not be found error.
My TV just starts at ITV (channel 3) it never finds BBC1 or BBC 2. Am worried that when the analogue goes I wont be able to get these channels.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks

Does anyone know how to stop the pop up that keeps occurring when my mums TV is first switched on. I know it says to press the yellow button, but she is 95 and has dementia. She now finds it impossible to be able to watch the TV.

wow once the switch over is done.. you'll no longer get any BBC channels, unless you have a HD box and get BBC HD..
No BBC no license fee to be paid.. Unless your list is right.. seems after 21st March you lose half the channels you was getting.. at 7th march.
Can you confirm this is correct, or is the 21st in addition to the 7th ;)

Hi, I am having problems getting the full list of freeview channels. Currently, my channel list starts at BBC four (channel 9)- I am missing 1-8 as well as ITV 2, BBC 24 etc. Apparently I am missing 'multiplex 1, 2, a, c, d'? I have tried re-scanning many times and I get the same list of channels. How do I get all the digital channels?
