No channels found when I switched my ancient Panasonic tv Have checked connections and aerial still no channelsTried in another room, still not working. Could it be the tuner, do not want to get engineer as might as well get a new one. Have used Roku and it does work with it installed.

    Ancient?

    Is it an analogue or digital TV?

    Does the aerial lead work with any other TV when connected to the lead from the roof aerial or loft or side of the house aerial?
  • Had similar experience on Panasonic I just leave it to do it own thing and it catches up, all due to needing a retune but as it shows the programs I want in the end why bother.

    If its ancient as in pre built-in Freeview (so older than probably 2010?) then you won't find any channels on the analogue tuner as they haven't existed since 2012.

    What model TV do you have?

    Might work with a set top box.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
