BBC channels missing from digibox
The picture played through my digibox was very pixelated earlier, so I automatically retuned it and now all the BBC channels (1, 2, 3, 4 etc) are missing. They're missing from my TV too, which is strange. Has this happened to anyone else and does anyone know how to resolve this please?
