Below are all of Lemon Fresh's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Morning. Noticed recently that at certain times of the day ( usually late at night, around 10-12pm ) some channels start to play up, and then disappear. Usually it's channels 1 - 10 and the problem lasts for anything up to 10 minutes before the channels reappear again. I doesn't happen every day, sometimes only occurring once a week; other times it could be 3 days in a row. All other channels are fine while this is going on. I've retuned TV and digibox on a couple of occasions, but this intermittent problem remains ...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. (52.4017,-1.5362)

Watching Freeview in Coventry.
Pick TV and Challenge ( Ch 11 and 46 ) show program for approx. 30 seconds, and then show only a graphic - press 'red' for 'Challenge' ( games, quizzes and MUCH more ...' ) or press 'blue' for 'Holidays' ( 'fabulous holidays at fabulous prices' ). There's also a 'Press TV guide or key in channel number to return to TV' blurb at the bottom of screen.
Pressing TV guide / keying in channel number doesn't resolve issue.
Not noticed this before. Don't really tune in to either channel much, so not a huge problem in itself ... mebbe an indication of just how shoddy the switchover has been / future issues ?
Oh .. update time : Left digibox alone on ch 11 while I was typing this post, and - et voila - the graphic has disappeared, and Pick TV has returned ... uh, animal cruelty !!
