kayleigh: If indeed your are located in the RH10 postal code area? and you are receiving Freeview from the Crystal Palace transmitter, then please note that as from yesterday 19th this station is listed as being liable to suffer from possible interruptions to its service due to engineering work being carried out at the station.

It should also be noted, that "if" on finding no signal when you tried to select a channel you then proceded to carry out a retune? then this will have wiped out everything stored in the tuners EPG memory, therefore a further retune will be required to refresh the tuners programme memory.

Hello, can anybody help me, I had to purchase an internal aerial for an additional TV set in the house today yet when I choose to auto scan or manual scan i find no channels at all. I remember something on this site sometime back where you guys were a great help for me so I'm hoping you can point me in he rig direction again. The TV is BOH ATv and Dtv, scanning on both gives me no channels

Russell Bedford: Your problem could simply be down to the signal level received via your internal aerial being low to the extent that its under the "capture" level required by your TV's tuner.

Your best policy would be to tune the additional TV on the the main TV's aerial to load the channels into the tuner, then move the set back to its previous position and select BBC1 or ITV1 then move the aerial around to see if anything is picked up.

Russell Bedford: OK, but further to that said, I just had a look at your location in respect to the station that you are receiving your Freeview signal from, namely Midhurst @ 16 miles away and a distance that could be considered as somewhat excessive for reception to be attempted using a "same room" type of aerial, as indoor aerials are seldom ever satisfactory at the best of times unless the aerial is positioned within a reasonable line-of-sight situation to the mast, a qualification I doubt will be met where you are located, the numerous trees seen around your area being another added signal killing problem.

However, apart from that previously said, you should also try a check using the indoor aerial on the main TV, (do NOT retune it) because if nothing is received on it either then I would abandon the indoor aerial and think along the lines of buying a two output powered booster / splitter and running another feed to the second TV.

Maggi Reimann: It should not automatically be assumed that reception will be possible using a "same room" type of aerial as indoor aerials of the type mentioned are frequently found not to work.

Your best bet would be to try and tune your TV on an neighbours "outdoor" (or loft) aerial to load the programmes into the tuners memory, this would then give you a better chance of finding a good spot for reception back in your own room by leaving the TV on BBC1 or whatever and moving your aerial around to see if anything is received.

By the way, your signal will be from the Craigkelly transmitter located across the water near to Burntisland.

Could someone tell me whether I would need to reconnect my outside aerial to be able to receive Freeview? Both TV's are new digital ones with the main TV being set up to a Sky dish. We are aiming to do away with Sky subscription eventually. Am I able to cast Freeview through my Google Chromecast? My location is LL32 8NF. Many thanks in anticipation!
