Further to my last post it is all the MUX1 and 2 channels I am missing that are broadcast on channel 24 and 27. My box is showing signal strength of 75% on quality of 98% on both these channels but no TV - frustrating!

So - having emailed Sagem the other day when I posted on here I got the following reply back "The vast majority of our customers have had no difficulty in retuning their products after the switch-over. Unfortunately our PVR7280 range failed to adapt to the new broadcast system due to the age of that particular product line. Unfortunately it has now been confirmed that the PVR72xx series is physically unable to operate on the new / changed broadcast signal. This explains why you are not able to receive some of your channels anymore." So basically my box is now useless and I have had to buy another one.
P.S. Thanks jb38 for the info - apart from this it would appear I have been lucky that mine has worked for so long.

Hi
I have a Sagem PVR7280T Digital freeview recorder. Apart from the EPG not updating properly it has been fine the last few years I have had it until the recent TV channel switchover. I have a TV with built in Freeview that has re-tuned perfectly OK but my PVR has not - I have no BBC or ITV channels as well as no E4 - though E4+1 strangely appears.
Is this a known bug? I have tried resetting to factory defaults and effectively starting from scratch, I have followed the complete reset procedure shown on here, I have re-tuned it at least a dozen times to no avail so, as a last ditch attempt I paid to have an aerial installer come out and check my aerial (which is wideband and in the loft) - this is perfectly OK and perfectly aligned to my transmitter - indeed if it wasn't my TV would not work either and I have no problems with that.
I have also just emailed Sagem but it will presumably take them a wee while to get back to me.
Any help would be gratefully received thanks.
