Paul P: Many boxes get confused if they have services stored from more than one transmitter. The solution seems to be to ensure that you only have services from one.
To do this, you completely clear out the channel lists ("first time installation" is recommended), then just tune in the transmitter you want - use manual search, and use the frequencies at the top of this page.
If you're in the north-east to south-east sector, e.g. in east Berkshire or north Hampshire, you may find that you can't yet get the commercial multiplexes from Hannington. In that case, you should tune back to Crystal Palace.

Thanks for your help Mike. I re started the box as factory default settings and this cured the problem and cleared out it's confusion. EPG now working fine.

I have two freeview receivers (one embedded in a Daewoo DLT20W TV and the other stand alone unit recently purchased), and neither will pick up the BBC red button and digital teletex service. The Daewoo used to work fine before the switchover, but even though I have run the initial installation option, and tried autotune without the RF connection to reset the channel list prior to a full autotune, I still do not have this service. Teletext on the Daewoo with other services like ITV1 works OK, it's just the BBC service, but there are no text services at all on the stand alone freeview box.
Any advice would be greatfully received.

jb38: There is another "Trading Standards" situation with some TVs with Brand names most have never heard of. These are sneakily marketed as HD TV's by containing the relevant decoders (cheap); but not displays with the capability (expensive) to match. In other words: Yes, they can show HD pictures - but only in Standard Resolution and sometimes worse than that.
Not so very important with small-screen TVs, but not exactly a big-screen bargain!

I have a Panasoc TV + Humax-FOX2. My loft aerial is directed at Rowbridge on a compass bearing. An automatic search in the Humax finds channels from Hannington as well as Rowbridge and viewing via both transmitters causes severe blocking etc. A manual search on Rowbridge channels 28;30;32;33;37 appears to have cured this but I have lost HD! Willo March 7 redoing the above manual search bring back the HD, or is there a better way? When using the automatice search above the EPG recording schedule often returns TWO choices for the same program!! Rregards, Roger Whitman
