I'm writing from Thailand, not about reception here!.
In a phone call last night, my father in Southend-on-sea said that the EPG (not his words) was not working on his set for the last few days. He uses Bluebell Hill. Reception is fine is all stations.
Are there any known problems? If not I'll walk him through the TV reset procedure (or at least try).
Thanks in advance
