Apparently they are doing some engineering work on Freeview at the moment including Crystal Palace, so this might be why . Advice is not to rescan,but to wait.

Yes probably rescan.

If that doesn't work unplug telly, leave a minute, then turn it on.  Whilst plugged in, there must be a miniscule current going in.  This reboots it.

You can factory reset it, worse case, going through menu, and then scan and reset at worst case.

Reboot if rescanning doesn't work

"Are there any planned engineering works or unexpected transmitter faults on the Crystal Palace (Greater London, England) mast?

"Crystal Palace transmitter - Crystal Palace transmitter: Possible effect on TV reception week commencing 12/05/2025 Pixelation or flickering on some or all channels"

says https://ukfree.tv/transmitters/tv/Crystal_Palace.

In which case I don't see any point in rescanning (not that it'll do any harm).

I've not noticed any signal degradation at all, TV or BBC radio, so it sounds as if it's probably intermittent.  Ah -  I did notice a couple of brief  R4 breaks yesterday, and assumed they were studio glitches.  I don't think either lasted more than a minute.

It's unnecessary to unplug the TV, just follow the retuning procedure, probably within Settings. Plus again NO NEED to do a factory reset.

    • Hello We are looking to get a dog of 1 year plus - know how hard puppy training is and want to avoid it! Also keen to know dog’s personality before we jump in as friends have had very difficult experiences with puppies who turned out to be tricky.  Ideally would like to adopt but also open to buying - does anyone have any ideas of where one might buy a dog?  thanks in advance! 
    • I think you have been very kind towards the the council.  And even kinder in your description of Peckham High Street (LOL). Peckham High Street Rye Lane is awful.  I know it is a very controversial opinion   but I am happy that some parts are going to developed and re built.   The dirty pavements, graffiti shops that put their stock all over pavements and racing cyclists make it not an enjoyable place to be in.  In the old days any business would have to keep their premises in good order.   I am much happier being near a simple bit of over greenery or weed.   It is much cleaner and feels safer to be next to.   Some parts of Peckham are plagued by Zombie like people who have fallen prey to substance abuse.  And I don't see the council putting much effort into helping these poor lost souls.
    • Our refuse collectors leave rubbish all the way down the hill after they have emptied the bins. Everywhere you go you see rubbish everywhere. On some days walking through the high street in Peckham can be truly depressing with plastic bags and paper blowing around everywhere, Peckham and other streets deserve better than this Council complacency. I'm sure it wasn't so bad back in the day. Councils everywhere, faced with cuts in revenue, must have decided a long time ago  that litter picking  and rubbish collection were not so important. I think a clean, tidy environment makes everyone feel better about their home environment. Btw, I'm ok with a few weeds. They are just wild flowers in an inconvenient place.
    • Have just enjoyed watching 100s of cyclists go past on Peckham Rye west. Couple of penny farthings, lit up bikes and music too!
