My Freeview box has no EPG, is blank on FIVE, ITV3, ITV4, ITV2+1, has no sound o
To deal with the problem you must clear the channel list completely and then rescan - if your box has it in the menus, please the 'installation menu' to do an initial scan or a reset to factory settings or First Time Installation. You MUST delete the entire existing list of channels. On most boxes this technique can be also be used:
Try this:
1) unplug your Freeview box (or idTV) from the mains;
2) unplug the aerial from the Freeview box by disconnecting the cable from the 'RF in' socket;
3) wait 30 seconds;
4) plug Freeview box (or idTV) mains back in;
5) do a complete scan for channels - it will fail without the aerial. (This may be in the installation or initialization menu, and is distinct from any 'add channels option'). Once this is done your channel line up should be empty;
6) reinsert aerial by reconnecting to the 'RF in' connection;
7) do a complete scan for channels again.
The Freeview channel line-up provided by six "multiplexes" - each of which carry five or more TV channels, radio channels, text services and EPG data. In this diagram each ROW represents a multiplex. If you are still missing a whole multiplex (ie everything on the row) you may need to replace your aerial with a wideband type, purchase a larger aerial or you may have interference from a VCR, games console, Sky Digibox or similar.

For the last two nights, all BBC channels have vanished from the early hours until just before 6.00am. What could be happening? Framlingham area.

Wayne Heyes : Are both TVs connected to the same aerial? If they are, you have a fault such as a loose cable or connection somewhere between the living room TV and the point where the aerial feeds split. Start by checking for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind the living room TV.

Merv Morris: Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? Please provide a full postcode so that we can see which transmitter you're using, where you are in relation to it and your predicted coverage.
ted.chuck: As per my reply to you yesterday on the Heathfield page you most likey have a fault with your aerial system. Retuning will not fix a weak signal, you need to investigate properly so start by checking for any loose or damaged cables or connections.

Dear Sirs,
I can NOT make sense of your website.- it is far too complicated for me.
Please send me a list (in channel number order) of channels that I should be able to receive on the Bengeo transmitter (Hertford)
My medical advisors have instructed me to avoid stressful situations - and I'm sorry to have to tell you that this is doing nothing whatsoever to help.
I have created a unique email address for your response so it will NOT be treated as spam by my filtering software.
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you, in anticipation, for your assistance.
Yours faithfully,
MC Black
