At some point on Tuesday 24 May, I lost all Freeview services. I have followed the reset procedure but am only able to receive the 5 normal channels with very poor reception on some other and no reception on the remainder. Are there any known issues or something I am not doing correctly?
regards

Hmmm interesting. Went to watch Ch4 news just now on freeview from Oxford but got Roy Walker's Catchphrase instead. Challenge Tv has migrated from ch 46 to 4 and Channel 4 seems to have dropped down to ch800. To use Mr Walker's old catchphrase: "It's good but it's not right"!

Thanks Brian. Without any intervention at this end, Challenge went back to ch46, ch4 was blank for a while but Channel 4 has gone back where it belongs and 800 is empty again.
It was nice to see Roy Walker again after all these years. Who knows what'll pop up next on ch4 - Ted Rogers's dusty bin, or heaven forfend, Bruce Forsyth's Beat the Clock (bit before your time that one!).

OX26 - completed a full scan and re-set up. I get analogue channels OK but no digital signal (services) at all. Is there any way to check if it the box?

Kevin Ferriday: The best way is to borrow another box and try it on your connection.
