Lost Freeview programmes
 

Because ITV2 was breaking up and distorted, I did a set up- manual tune to
replace all existing prog's, now I don't have ITV2 ITV3 or Channel 4
I have a Ferguson set top box, my postcode is in the LS20 area if that
helps.

I have repeated the seqence three or four times with no luck.
If I go into service prog's the missing channels are not listed.

Any ideas, could my box be faulty ? I have had it two years now.

It 'could' be faulty, be its more likely to be a combination of summer
foliage (on the trees) and rain, causing lack of signal, enough to stop your
box finding the channels on a rescan. Has it been raining where you are?
The ITV channels are usually first to be affected.

LOL I changed manual tune to automatic tune, that was the correction.

Have you tried just rescanning for the specific multiplex (UHF channel)?
(Most boxes let you do that I believe.) That might fix it or maybe show that
the signal is just too weak.

try a complete automatic rescan.

otherwise, if your reception is marginal, the box might sometimes not
"see" some channels. Just a tiny change in received signals can make
that difference (for example, as caused by day/night conditions).

Thanks I am printing it out at the mo' :-)

I have done a complete automatic tune, now all prog's are back, but it is
breaking up on ITV1 ITV2 Channel 4 and E4, so could it be an ariel problem
do you think ? all the other prog's are perfectly ok.

Installing a new modern design aerial. downlead etc made all the difference in
my case!
