Linda Parsons: What's the make and model of the box?
This reminds me of a Panasonic box that I have. Having tuned, there was, it seemed at first, no way to get rid of the on screen display window. Eventually I figured out that the only way forward was to select the option to program in a code (IIRC a house code), but it didn't make that clear! Most people would have probably given up and thrown it away.

Linda: I have the same problem I posted the issue ealier this morning noone has given answer,
for now I am watching the small pic on the EPG, also turning the box off to change volume and channel for now just so the blue box doesn't block the screen,,, we're not silly it's not allowing the exit option after retuning, wonder if we have to wait until the switch over is finished on the 18th :(

I wondered why all 4 of my digital devices are showing duplicate entries in the EPG.
Running the Linux real-time scan utility reveals that some BBC channels are currently on both C23 and C28...:
9-BBC FOUR
71-CBeebies
81-BBC Parliament
700-BBC Radio 1
701-BBC R1X
702-BBC Radio 2
703-BBC Radio 3
704-BBC Radio 4
705-BBC R5L
706-BBC R5SX
707-BBC 6 Music
708-BBC Radio 4 Ex
709-BBC Asian Net.
710-BBC World Sv.

Linda - you're right. We've got a Goodmans box bought two months ago to convert a non-digital TV. There is no option other than to 'retune'... even though that is what you have already done!

Andrew Benham: This is because at switchover those BBC services move from one multiplex to another. Thus, they are presently duplicated until 18th April. This happens from all transmitters as part of the switchover process.

I live ine the w11 area of london.have been trying to set up my freeview with a set-top box but all I get is "no signal".

Linda, Thea, Matt: Just out of interest (maybe a long shot at a fix), when you run the tuning scan, unplug the aerial when it gets to 30%. Once completed plug the aerial back in. Then let us know whether this works or not.
