It has INTERNAL freeview or theres an EXTERNAL freeview box?
Im assuming internal so there SHOULD be a way of swopping between analogue and digital (Usually the same button):idea:0 -
Have you tried unplugging it and re booting?Happiness is not having what you want...but wanting what you have!!!0

have you tried the old favourite??
Turn it off ..leave it for 5 mins and re start it
Usually works for meIf you dont ask you dont get!!0 -

If you power off it will need the channels reloading (Possibly)
No biggie but Id recommend against it as until theyre loaded in then it WILL be a blank screen
of the keys youve put
uve tried dtv (Which is what i would have tried myself)
so try tv
and ~ ypbpr (NO idea what that is)
the others are all external options
HOWEVER
you could also try pressing 'av' a few times to cycle through them just to see if it switched digital back on:idea:0 -

DTV - dIGITAL TV SIGNAL ( TV ARIEL )
YPBPR-SGNAL FROM YPBPR (COMPONEMT ) SOCKET
THINK IT MUST BE DTV BUT IT SAYS NO INPUT0 -
How old is the tv?
If its recently updated theres a (sorry) possibility that your digital tv is now dead as the internal freeview box couldnt take the update. IF this is true im afraid that theres nothing you can do.
Are there 2 aerial connections on the back? If so just try the other
If not the only other thing I can suggest is going into the menus to see if there are any other options (look up digital tv and try to scan for new channels etc):idea:0 -

I can only get to "TV" which is now auto tuning - analogue channels only
i cant get on DTV to auto tune again ? it may be the ariel ?0 -
There should be a co-axial input for the aerial at the back.... it's not been knocked out, has it?Russia is HERE0
