    Retuning your Digi Box

    So I thought "how hard can it be?"

    Retuned my digi tuner at the weekend and ended up with 7 channels!?
    WTF? tried again las night and still seven channels, I thought I might only loose ITV 3&4, but they've all gone, including the music channels

    Just me? Or am I just being Stoopid?
    Who has time? Who has time? But then if we do not ever take time, how can we ever have time?

    All worked fine here with the Humax free view box I have.

    I would try Googling for the make / model of the box you have and retune and see if anyone else has the same problem.

      Same here - it needed retuning again on Sunday, but I think the techies are tinkering.

        I could only ever get about 20% of the supposedly-available channels anyway. After retuning I can still get about 20%, but the mix is different.

        Still, who cares about BBC 4 so long as Russia Today is coming through loud and clear

          I had to do a factory reset on my old Humax PVR (doing a re-tune didn't work, it complained there were too many channels).

            My TV doesn't pick up programme descriptions in the EPG reliably any more.

                  I've also got 101 channels. a dozen or so good channels. Don't like the new ones or the ones you have to pay for.

                    All of my series record schedules were fubard after I retuned my EyeTV on my Mac.

                    Had to re-create them all. Took about 10 mins so everything is ok now.
