T.V. Reception Problem.

Morning all on this chilly breezy morning


I installed a new t.v. aerial outside on Friday for a couple that has just moved house. I could not get their t.v. to self tune on the freeview channels. The screen has just frozen and does not shown a self tuning progress bar, and just displays an error message asking me to wait for new channels to be found. It makes not progress at all. It is just frozen. A second t.v. of theirs does show signs of life as it tries to auto-seek new freeview channels. I had to leave at that point as the lady of the house was exhausted after her move and needed a quiet lie down.


Is there a method of re-booting the first t.v. to work, or is the tuning circuit faulty?


The new bungalow is located right next to a new supply transformer an the new estate is only 50 per cent occupied. I wondered if the higher Voltage may have possibly damaged the t.v's circuits boards.


Any help much appreciated.


Thanks,

  • Thanks all. The second set has a frozen screen on the auto-tune screen. Even after turning the set off and trying to get auto-tune to work the same frozen page appears and nothing happens at all. On my sets, even if there were no channels available I can see the progress bar moving across the screen as the set is searching, and then the page will say "no channels found" if unsuccessful, so it confirms that at least it  has looked for them. If successful the set will show "X new channels found". The second set here is not playing ball at all.
