We dont have a Freeview box just digital TV's. We have had freeview on all our TVs until the last few days. We can reset our small TV, which now has its Freeview channels but our two large SAMSUNG tv's do not appear to have a Freeview reset!!!!!!! We recently disconnected from cable tv but can still get channels 1 to 5 if the box is turned on. Does this mean that our TV's have suddenly lost their compatibility with Freeview? What can we do to get the channels back? 8th February 2015
