Hi,

A bell rang, a number of early freeview boxes and TVs have stopped working due to changes made to the service, yours is almost certainly one of them.
Have a look at the attached list, no idea how olrd it is or if the sony number still works.

See post#6

Mine at least mentions my old Nokia Mediamaster.

Yes Geordieracer it is (in parts) and I am actually a Geordie ha ha!! As for the TV - yes I know I can use a freeview box and I know it is an old tv but I am just perplexed at sony's explanation and anyway I think if I paid 600 quid for a digital tv, then it should last longer than 7 years. I just cannot understand why it worked in Perth and not in Helensburgh. I tried to retune it but it says there is no signal so perhaps it is the aerial or it was damaged in the move, I can get the 4 analogue channels. Am gonna try borrowing a signal booster and then am going to give up.

There are 5.

But.....

If I point at my local transmitter I only get 4 analogue channels, nothing digital at all, this is because it is a small repeater transmitter. (Just checked after the switchover I will get 18 channels - oh joy, I hope I can survive without the 50 odd other ones)
