For the last week (15th-21st September 2012) I have been driven round the bend with my LG TV that loses the EPG after about 3 minutes rendering my TV useless if I want to change the channel or record anything. I have to turn it off then on again to change channel before the EPG is gone again. I have rescanned for the channels loads of times. I have checked the signal strength and it has now dropped from 70 to 67 and today 65. During the cut over I found that under 70 my TV had a mind of its own and just did not function properly since it loses the EPG data which seems to be the main brain of the TV system. How long is this 'tinkering' with the signal going to last since it must be effecting a large section of Freeview customers?

Hi Richard - thank you for your input. You may have a point since I live in a flat and the installation is probably nearly 20 years old. I will ask our Estate Manager to ask for an engineer to test and inspect the wiring and also check the aerial type plus whether a new booster is needed for the main aerial. My neighbour upstairs has a different model of LG but is experiencing similar problems though not so drastic. Last night was great since the signal picked up to 70 and the set behaved itself. I hope it stays at that level since I want to record Montelbano tonight - my favourite series.
