    Cheers for the reminder, Birkonian, but... does that long quotation really count as "fair use" under copyright law?

    A lot of people on here are pretty critical of those who want to share files, just on the off chance that they might swap copyrighted material without consent, but posting illegal content on moneysavingexpert.com could get Martin Lewis in trouble, couldn't it?

    It would be far better to briefly summarise the article and provide a link like this:

    Thanks again for the reminder, though...

    Good for them but many others may not

    Do the old codgers good to be without the TV for a while anyway - they can listen to the wireless again.:D

    I have retuned mine, a few times now, but the TV guide part of it, doesn't appear to be fully operational.

    I have changed it from the 14day extended version, to the 8 day freeview+ version.

    But I still cannot see the listings a few days in advance on some channels, which means I cannot record anything.
    :(

    I've just retuned and my channels now start at 9 !!! NO BBC1/2 ITV CH4 OR 5

    ARRRRRGGGHHHHH :mad:


    Mine also starts at 9 with BBC4, the BBC1/2 are now located in the 800s.... all my channels out of order!
    Also have lost Five both places on digital, but we do have it on analogue.
    I'll do another retune in a few days and hopefully Five will be back and the channels will be in the right order!

    Mine was similar when I simply did a rescan - did a full installation scan from scratch and all now showing up as normal.

    I have just turned everything off, left it for a while, then retuned.
    :mad:
    It still doesn't work.
    Not sure what else to do.

    I hope the one upstairs retunes properly .... thats an older box, so I thought I may encounter problems with that one :eek:

    Did a full first time install followed by a re-scan. The re-scan sorted it out last time so will try that again tomorrow.

    We dont have any 800's !!! I've look through them all and the most normal channel i have is E4+1 :rolleyes:
    DD is happy as we still have cbeebies but we dont even have the other childrens channels

    My telly has freeview, its not a separate box, so i cant figure out how to do a full instalation scan? :confused:

    hflower you should have a setup button or DTV button that goes into channel search option

    Had another go, Got BBC1 & 2 at the start but still all over the shop, so will try again in a few days when things hopefully settle down.
    Some of the channels are mixed in among radio stations *shakes head*
