I have just swapped my old televison to a new LCD tv, and my digibox was working with all multiplexes on the old tv, but now not on the new one. I have only 4 multiplexes currently on the new tv.
I have run all the checks you have suggested but there is no change.
I know that there is nothing wrong with the digibox or the signal to all multiplexes.
Can you please help??
