Steve Watson: If My Freeview box has no EPG, is blank on FIVE, ITV3, ITV4, ITV2+1, has no sound or the channel line up is wrong | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice does not work, then you may have to find a "first time installation" or "factory reset" option on your box (or set).

claire: This does suggest that you actually have no signal. Either the dish has been moved, a cable disconnected or the LNB on the dish has failed.

Steve: Because they are built to a specification of what a reasonable signal level will be. Attenuators cost only a few pounds, much easier to provide the correct signal level to your equipment.

Steve: OK, you seem to know best.
The information is included in ALL switchover documentation. For example Digital UK's Anglia Aerial Installer Newsletter :
"DSO provides for substantial DTT power increases at all UK transmitters when analogue services end, to enable Ofcom's
condition of matching the 98.5% UK analogue coverage figure. Power increases for individual muxes vary. The average is a
ten-fold increase that provides a further 10dB gain into the Freeview receiver. We will notify you of the transmission power
increases for Sudbury and Talconestion and their relay transmitters in future newsletters.
Amplifiers
When transmission powers increase, homes with aerial amplifiers could experience service loss or picture and sound
disturbance due to the DTT receiver's tuner being overloaded. Old aerial amplifiers with poor filtering could cause video/
audio synchronisation problems where the receiver trying to read noise as a DTT signal. Removing the amplifiers should
rectify both issues. "

John: Yes, that would seem very sensible. Except they are going to use a totally different satellite for their service...

Teodora: If you are able to clear out the channel list, rescan and find the channels, but are unable to have them shown by the receiver may indicate a fault with the receiver.
