I have a digihome pvr (vestel t816) which was fine until the swithover and retune. I have now lost all progs ( film 4, itv4 ect.) on channel 28, and no amount of retuning can get them back. I cant see it being the ariel, as both tv's have tuned to them fine. on a manual scan on pvr of channel 28 from crystal palace - it says no signal. Any ideas ? Thanks

Not sure what the negative offsets you refer to are tbh, I'v got this far with google. Do you recon this model is no good now ? Am trying everything as I like the really simple menu, plus it has saved progs on it, only reason im relectant to buy a new 1. Thanks again J.B.

Oh right, most of that is way above my knowledge of tv frequency's ect. , but I understand what you mean reading the comparison with the fine tune and afc. Thank you for your time to explain - guess box is rubbish now then if I want film 4 - shame, because although I'v read a lot of bad things about this model since searching internet for my problem - I have had mine years, it was quite cheap compared to others - and has always worked perfectly, with a nice simple menu and tidy remote compared to others.

Nice one JB - I have now found this update > 5.7 2008-11-18 15:18:58 OAD / RS232 30 seconds Fixed support for negative UHF offsets used with 8K COFDM mode (previous versions may fail to pickup channels on multiplexes switched to this mode after digital switchover) <
Worth a try? I will take a look at the Hitachi if that fails. Thanks again for your time.

Yea will do , am going to try it, will be later in the week as I don't have a laptop with a com port, and will be getting a local pc shop to do the transfer for me, rather than using a usb to rs232 adaptor.
