Just another note to the above post, the 4:3 pan and scan option is enabled in the set-top box menu and this works ok with all the other channels, its the same setting that is enabled on my nan's set-top box as I remember setting it up for her.
I'm just wondering if there is a signal that's broadcast with the programme that enables this 4:3 pan and scan option to work, maybe its been disabled for some reason by channel 4.

Any thoughts on this Sudbury problem ?
My TV will not tune the Ch60 output (Pick TV etc), it pauses as expected while tuning but never reports any channels.
However my PVR and PC are still receiving Ch60 just fine, as was the TV until I did a retune a couple of weeks back.
At CM9 6HG, a clear view of the mast, and all other MUX are full strength and no pixellation or errors.
TV is Sony.

Bill: Have you tried carrying out a factory reset on your TV prior to the auto-tune? this on some devices being called "default setting" or on others "first time installation, all of these procedures scrubbing the tuners memory of any data errors that may have occurred during the previous retune.
Should you still not have any success then maybe you could supply the model number of the Sony TV in question

Bill:
Now fixed.
There wasn't a factory reset for tuning (everything but...) so I did a scan with no aerial lead to blank it out.
The subsequent automatic scan went OK, and a manual tune of Ch60 also picked up what it should have done this time.
Bit of a mystery, perhaps down to scanning in 'odd' weather.
Thanks

Hi, I live in the IP5 area and today I did a retune of channels. Thay all came through perfectly on my TopUp tv freeview+ set-top box, but when I try to retune the Panasonic tv (with built in digital)(over 8 years old) it keeps coming up with the same message - NO DVB Services found. I have retuned with all options, factory settings, shipping conditions and have tried this 7 or 8 times during the course of today. Please Help. Techno novice.

Jay: Its just a guess, but try unplugging the aerial from the TV, then trying a scan/retune to clear everything, then plug it back it, and retune again.
You TV's memory can get full up, especially if ita bit old like your Panasonic (Dave Lindsay has a really good explaination of this, but I can't find it at the moment), and it needs a cleanout.
Give it a go, and see how you get on.

Jay: I have done this, but again no joy last night. Thought I would give it a go this morning, slightly less humid conditions and this time it has worked. All signals are back but not a very high strength of signal, keeps buffering. Probably weather related somehow, the freeview+ box is also saying buffering due to signal. Hopefully all will be okay when weather lowers the pressure.
