Lost BBC1 & BBC2 on Freeview - Help

Hi all

My BBc1 and BBC2 disappeared about 2/3 days ago - they show in the list, signal strength shows 100% but nothing - no sound and no picture >:(.

BBC 3 Has picture but is still with an occasional judder of movement - has anyone else got this problem ?

Box - Dual PVR
OL8 postcode
Transmitter - Winterhill

Thanks

Please stop using the word "of" when you actually mean "have" - it's damned annoying :mad:

    Have you tried resetting the box (often there is a hard reset option - you might have to stick the end of a paperclip in somewhere or something similar)

    Before reseting the box, try re-scanning for channels again.

    thanks folks - tried rescanning twice - no luck.

    Unplugged form wall for 30 seconds - no joy.

    Teh I switched to BBC 1 some 20-30 mins later and suddenly they are back :confused:

    Thanks for the pointers :beer:
