    A while back we had a "you must rescan to keep all your channels" message and the misses 4 year old Sony TV wouldn't find any thing at all, just refused to recognise any channels. Cost to "update" it was quoted at @ ?180.

    I donated my old ?15 from ASDA freeview box and life is all sweetness and light again but I am under orders to tie her TV into my Sat system asap.

    Well, we brought our Pionneer set top box for ?3 at a Cardiff Carboot sale 14 months ago. Its been fine with the retune, though compared to a sky box its software is slow and clunky.

    When I first retuned it, all the channels were messed up and in illogical places. Now after a reboot, reset and rescan they are where they should be. But even where they should be is got as good as the order they were in. Why can they just leave the F8ck alone with it. All they are going to do is confuse the elderly who wont know now to get the channels back.

    Sure enough, BBC1 and 2, amongst others are now not available. They are still not there even after a channel scan. I've even done the first-time set up again and no luck.


    Look on the bright side. you won't have to by a tv license ever again. :-)

    ya do have to pay even if your not getting BBC channels..

    the only way you can not pay is if it's say one of them old Philips monitors etc plugged into a dvd or just a video player... basically anything WITHOUT a tuner in..

    I'm just curious can you get a black/white license still? hehe and what if you watch loads of old films are you entitled to a discount :D

    thankfully a decent telly reception at work allows me to watch BBC2 from welsh transmitter as they've not got around to getting a freeview box for the staff kitchen yet.
