Hi,
I have a sony vtx d800u freeview box that in all respects seems to be working perfectly except that it is missing ITV 1, Channel 4 & Channel 5. I have tried some or all of the things suggested in other posts to no avail. I live in Leigh, Kent.

Hi Briantist,

I took a look, as you suggested, and thought it seems to describe the problem it doesn't say how to rectify it. Or am I missing something there.

I have tried disconnecting all bar the TV from the system. Made a new Coaxial fly cable and tested the scart connections by replacing the cabling.

BTW, when I try to clear the box, by scanning with the aerial removed, all program titles remain in the EPG.

Hi Briantist

I think that I have now tried all of your suggestions and I am still missing the ITV, channel 4 & 5 programs.

I tried clearing the EPG with the info on this link My Freeview box has no EPG, is blank on FIVE, ITV3, ITV4, ITV2+1, has no sound or the channel line up is wrong | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice but I still had all of the Channels previously loaded in the EPG.

Can you please advise what I should try next.

Hi Dave

The aerial is vertical and is pointing ESE which would make it Tunbridge Well transmitter I would think.

Thank you for your response Dave. I will take a look and see if I can manually tune to C61.

In the meantime, can I ask, if this fails to correct the situation, will it all come right after the switch over date?

Dave, wow that's a relief as my Sony VTX-D800U box won't seem to allow me to manually tune to C61.

Thanks for your patience and help, I think that, rather than keep troubling you, and as I can still receive the missing channels on analogue, I shall wait for the switchover to solve the problems. ;-)

Cheers.

Clive

Hi Dave

I do have the manual, but thanks for taking the trouble to find the link. But still can not relate the manual to tune to C61.

Of course it may be that the problem lies somewhere between me, and my understanding of the instructions, and the box itself.
