Having been out of the country on 27th June, I returned home to find many of the previous missing, i.e. ITV3 5* and 5USA amongst others. Today I attempted to retune, using information found on this site. First I defaulted to the factory settings on my TV, then I removed the and wiped out all the settings. I then did another auto which picked up 63 (as opposed to the earlier 32 services). These included channels such as Sports and Film 4, but still no sign of ITV3, 5* and 5USA. So I went through the whole procedure again to see if I could pick up the missing channels, but now I can only get the 32 services that were available earlier today.

Any explanation or advice would be appreciated. I live in and the Digital TV website tells me that I receive service from the .

Try attempting manual tuning for missing multiplexes, if your allows:

COM4 | ITV3 |
COM5 | Pick TV |
COM6 | Yesterday |

Failing that, perhaps your aerial needs replacing. See the posting I to Katharine immediately above yours in which I linked to another posting of mine which explains.

Has anyone else, owning a Panasonic TV, had a problems with tuning in to the Red Button service?
Both my neighbour and I own Panasonic Viera models but neither of us can get this service on any of the normal BBC .
I have been chasing Panasonic since March (when our change over took place), before that it was OK.
Panasonic admit to the problem on our sets and have a gizmo to correct it. Trouble is, they say, there is only a few of these available and they are relying on customers to return them once they have activated the necessary changes, before they can send them out to someone else! We would like to correct this problem before the Olympics start but!!!!
