We have 2 newish tv's and a dvd recorder, all with built-in freeview, none listed as not able to receive 8k-mode, and all now re-tuned. The main Philips tv gets the BBC channels but trying to record them usually makes the LG dvd recorder freeze (with a difficult to remove blue screen), change channels or switch itself off. Non-BBC channels are recorded perfectly. The smaller Ferguson TV has lost all BBC channels and a first time installation makes no difference. It has no facility to manually choose transmitters. Any ideas please?

Thanks. Although the small tv is not connected to any device it does use the same aerial as the main tv & dvd recorder, and when these were disconnected I was able to re-tune and get all the channels on the small tv. However as soon as the main tv and recorder were re-connected to the aerial socket I lost them again. Sounds like I either have to "change the RF channel no. on the dvd device" (trying to figure out what that means!) or get a completely separate 2nd aerial fitted, which seems a bit excessive.
