Colin - Are you doing a "First Time Install" or other memory clearing scan, rahter than just adding? Not sure what a "default setting" would be/be for.
Roy S - click the highlight on your question!

Colin
When a tuner detects multiple versions of a channel like BBC1 BBC2 ITV1 C4 C5 it puts whatever it perceives to be the local one in channel 101 102 103 or 001 002 003 etc. then lists others somewhere else; usually the 800 series.
Usually you can rearrange to get what you want where you want it.
But you seem to be detecting nothing at all.
If other equipment does in same place either yours bust or somehow wrongly set/instructed. Not sure about "setting" for auto scans, which usually just happen.
Some boxes cannot cope with new modulation methods but thought that all already worked through.

Colin - could be that it developed a fault which only manifests itself on retuning?
Lots of trouble reported with the retune, but not total loss of all signals.
Is there not a number to call in the instructions?

Congratulations ??

Can you tell from the channel numbers on the link which station you are receiving? Which way is your aerial - H or V ? And where pointing?
Look in the 800 series for the English channels too - you may be able to swap.

Tony - eat your macaroni?
But at a more practical level; can you try her box with another dish and another dish with her box?
That should settle if it is box or dish at fault.
D Matthews - are you saying you get reception every morning and it goes, and you cannot retune later? Very odd. Are you using Oxford? Match channels to this

If you retune one morning and do nothing later on do the signals reappear the next morning? If not I suspect your box faulty. Try it elsewhere.
If so, sounds like interference or signal strength - perhaps too strong! Remove any amplifier, or other links.

Me too.
Now about that famous mamma's cooking.....
Though I suppose there must be some Italian mammas who are awful cooks?

C Taylor I don't know who you think you are leaving a message for but it's in the wrong place. This website has nothing to do with broadcasting except to discuss it. No services, engineers, etc.

Dear Peter
You can't even spell your own surname in the standard modern usage, so why berate Brian for the US (kilo)meter ?
And as Brian is so thick skinned that he has never corrected the gratingly awful affect/effect error I doubt hee will care.

Rani you don't even need a card to get the free channels.
