    The changes to the transmissions, which went through this morning, will also mean that 22,000 older digital TV set-top boxes will no longer work.

    After retuning also check that your Timer Recordings are OK. My box deleted Channel 5 daily recording schedules (but not Channel 4)
  • It was only earlier this month that we started to receive digital TV and that they turned off all four channels of our analogue TV.

    The 16 main channels of TV programming (inc News, Parliament, CBBC & Cbeebies) from the relay serving us have now been reduced to 14.

    We didn't get much of a chance to evaluate ITV3 and ITV4 before losing them but it's a shame that they can't/won't shift C4+1 to a commercial multiplex and give us something like Film4 on the public service multiplexes.

    Good job it's an old one and I have a spare!

    Althou OH is now moaning and saying I shouldn't have retuned cos we could have still used the box! I don't min - I bought it about 2003 so it's served me well!

    Retuned my freeview tv fine - now got ITV and C5 back after they were lost a few months back!

    Will retune the dvd recorder later - bet it clears programmes Ive set it for:rolleyes:

    Pleased I have got the lost channels back as my freeview signal is miles better than the analogue.

    I have retuned 2 Freeview integrated tvs, 1 a few years old and 1 bought earlier this year. The new 1 retuned fine, all channels available. The older 1 cannot pick up ITV, ITV2 or channel 5, but can pick up ITV3&4, even though they are split lines from the same aerial. Have tried the retune 3 times, the last time being 5.00pm. Does anyone else have the same problem or any idea what I can do next? Thank you.

    I've retuned and am now unable to view channel 5 as the channel breaks up. I've always had this issue with 3 and 4 but 5 has never been a problem before. So much for more people being able to view channel 5!!!:confused:
    5 has moved onto mux2, the ITV multiplex, which is why it is breaking now up for you. You need to sort out your aerial.

    We could only get a few channels at lunchtime, but now we can get the full range.

    If you want to see exactly what channels you should now be getting go to this website and put in your postcode in the box on the right:
