I am not a technical guy but am having the same problem...no ITV1, ITV2, Channel 4 etc. My Bush BTU160DTR has the digital tick so I assume should work. I have retuned a number of times but still nothing. I did note that the software I have is not what TUTV say should be the current version...so I do not know if that might affetct.

What is the advice...I would like to avoid a total wipe and reset as that will lose my recordings. HELP!

KMJ,Derby: thank you for your thoughts on the problem. I have discovered that my other TV is also playing up in the same way. I have tried full installation reset on that TV and still missing channels...there are no other "copies" in the Channel List. I have not got near the PVR tonight ...too many kids watching DVDs! But will try that in the morning.

obsidian: I am pleased for you...but no change here. I have no Channel 31 and have noticed now that I have no Channel 29 either. Could it be that I have no "wide band" aeriel???

Tomorrow, I plan to eliminate the white box (the purpose of which I have no idea) and test the two devices I have directly to the aeriel.

This is turning me to DRINK as well!

I have now tested the TV direct to the aerial and exactly the same problem occurs.

Back to the Aerial itself...i must have had a wideband aerial before 30/3/11 and 13/4/11 retunes because I was getting all the channels. Is that right?

So if it is not the aerial then what on earth is it?!?

Cass/Martyn/Nick Miles: I too am having problems. With no or poor signal from Ch29 and Ch31. I have Aerial guy coming tomorrow to check my aerial...but I am as sure as I can be that I have a Wideband medium gain aerial...

I am going to go into the loft with a small television to plug directly into the Aerial to see if that helps...

Wisj me luck!

Update: Aerial Guy No 1 did not show up! Grrr. Aerial Guy No 2 could only send surveyor who has just been. He has tested signal and thinks that I either have faulty dipole or a C/D Group Aerial. All signals strong except Ch29 and Ch31.

Sending Installer on Tuesday to go on the roof. No fix no fee...lets wait and see.
