Bought my Mum a Samsung freeview HD TV a few weeks ago. Been working great until I retuned it yesterday. Did it several times, and every time it is now missing all of the HD channels (101 to 111, 123, 124). Tried factory reset etc. Spent ages googling, and either can't find or don't understand what the problem is or what I need to do. Can anyone help - at least point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Postcode WR11 2QY, Aerial (on roof) pointing at Larkstoke.
Problem all BBC channels but no others. Screen freezes, then goes blank, many times at ten second intervals . Picture returns and all happens again. Also impossible to change channels when in this mode.
Everything normal when tuned to all other channels.
Retuned Ok on 3rd September but problem occured before and after retuning. Manual retuning not possible.
Local retailer says many, many others are having the same trouble and that it originates from a BBC transmitter problem. Is this correct and do we all have to wait for the broadcaster to sort it out ?
