Hi. For the last few days only the bbc channels have been working on our freeview box. I tried a spare with the same results. Have done numerous resets and deleted taped shows for space but we can only find 33 stations in total and as stated only the bbc channels will work. Have checked cables etc and all seem fine. We live in a communal appartment building and we seem to be only ones with issues. We are in the West Midlands area.
Any help appreciated.

chris: If you've tried two boxes with the same result - its not you although its worth swaping round an aerial cable, in case its that). Could be a problem with the communial aerial system, but nobody else has noticed it yet (dodgy aerial lead, plus existing problem = far less channels).
