I have a Philips 26PFL5522D/05 TV with integral Freeview. After a complete reinstallation all channels are present, but when I turn the TV off (i.e. to standby) and back on again, I can only get the BBC channels and there are no radio stations. The banner comes up on the other channels with information on the programs but there's no sound or picture. I have to do another reinstallation to get those channels back - and then when I turn the TV off they disappear again. Any advice? Surely I don't have to buy a new TV - it's only 5 years old.

Dave Lindsay: thanks - sounds promising. I'm in East London (E2) using the Crystal Palace transmitter.

Dave Lindsay: Thanks Dave, I'll try that and post the outcome.

Dave Lindsay: I didn't try your solution as Philips got back to me with this, which has worked. May be of interest to others with a similar problem:

1. Turn the TV on and set to the digital TV source.
2. On the television set itself, find the menu button on its lower left hand side or possibly on the top of the unit .
3. Press and hold this menu button down. It is vital that this is done on the television set and not on the remote.
4. Please hold this button down for 20 seconds. A menu should appear, and then disappear, and then a second menu should reappear. Please hold the button down until this second menu appears.
5. Once on this menu, please scroll down to service scan with the remote and press ok.
6. The TV will now retune your channels one last time.
