freeview channels gone!

**willp2003** · 21st December 2005

My freeview (pansonic) box occasionally hangs and i have to reboot it, which also re-tunes it. But it re-tuned the other day, and i can't get sky sports news any more! have they removed it or is my box knackered?

it's on channel 83 i think, not 100% sure but all the freeview channels did get moved around recently. does it do a full rescan or a partial one? it might be worth resetting the whole thing and making it do a full re-scan for all channels...

have u ever looked into updating the firmware on the box? I have several goodmans boxes which I brought as faulty, a quick flash of a updated image and they worked a treat...

yeah i noticed it had moved to 83, but i get a no service message now. It's been off for a few days.

where would i get a new firmware version? is it easy to upgrade?

cheers

check the www.dtg.org.uk
retailer section. put in postcode, it will tell you your likely transmitter and channel list, this may point you in the right direction.

sorted now - should have realised sooner - when i installed my DVD recorder, and set up as they suggested, it whiped the channels. Set up differentely now, and all is well again.

Thanks anyway!
