Benfleet
I had an Luxor Top-Up TV 2500 PVR at Norwich which gave excellent service for some years, I then sent it to a friend in Benfleet - SS7 5AQ. Before sending I reset to factory setting as per manual and did a channel scan with the aerial removed.
On receipt the PVR was set up according to the manual and found 100+ channels and seemed OK.
On the second day it started showing the 'aerial icon & X' indicating loss of digital signal at top and in centre of TV screen but whilst showing a perfectly good picture on a digital channel.
The aerial at SS7 is outside on the roof.
As there are problems recording which may be associated I wondered how this can occur as I had understood a digital picture is either received or not at all so how can a 'Loss of signal' icon appear over a good picture please?

Do any Freeview HD broadcasts carry 5.1 sound please?
If so would any home cinema type AV amplifier work OK?
What was the system a couple of years ago when I wired up some rear speakers to my old CRT TV and found there was surround sound with The Simpsons, or did I dream it?
Many thanks, Michael.
