Good morning,
Since yesterday, 13Mar, all of my Freeview equipment (TVs and 2 x Topfield 5810 recorders), has had problems with the EPG guide. Most of the programme descriptions consist of unintelligble characters, not all channels are affected.
Has this been due to recent work on the xmitter?
Has it been drawn to the Huntshaw Cross Engineers?
Anybody have the same problem?
Help needed, please
Regards, Geo Swindail (EX39 3QH)

My Toppys had the same problem of screwing up the EPG. I have solved the problem on one of my Toppys now working on the second. I have put a post on Toppy.org.uk ~ View topic - MyStuff 6.6
Hope that helps
