TV blackout around Goose Green and north

[mynamehere]

Please! Anyone else experiencing NO TV AT ALL black screen north of Goose Green?

It's not just me and I'm certain my TV isn't broken. Black Screen for days now

[robbin]

Your TV is broken?

[steveo]

Daytime TV.

It's doing you a favour

[JohnL]

Are you sure it isn't on the wrong input

Sorry for stating the obvious if it is :)

[mynamehere]

I shall tear off my mask: I'm asking for a shy friend! I suggested s/he check his/her fuse box.

So I agree with you all. Next stop is going over to their house and just doing all the obvious checks myself.

loads of bright red blushes

That's not a tv, that's a microwave.

One thing to check (my Mother did this recently) is whether the remote has an analogue/digital button. My Mother's Sony (sounds like a line from a French language book) has one of these which she pressed in error. Until it is pressed again all is darkness.

[robbin]

That's a good tip - I wouldn't have thought about that analogue/digital thing, but it makes sense.

[DulwichFox]

I'm assuming there is no sound...

If it was a fuse/trip in the consumer unit all sockets on that ring would be dead.

If it was switched to analogue you might expect a 'Fuzzy' screen and a 'low signal' message

agree about a button being pressed inadvertently on remote control - easily done .

You're a kind friend to help her .

[Jeremy]

Yes, I hope your... erm.. friend sorts out the problem!

When I switch on, DTV comes up in corner of screen then screen goes black

When channel number pressed, number appears, then screen goes black

When menu pressed, channel guide appears momentarily but empty of programmes, then screen goes black

When setup is pressed, menu for automatic or manual set up appears momentarily, then screen goes black with no time to pick from menu - NIGHTMARE!

[Bic Basher]

Try an indoor aerial and see if you get any picture. If so, it's a fault with your outdoor/communal aerial.

[mynamehere]

Hi CSI99, all the recent wind knocked your ariel off its perch?

[intexasatthe moment]

Paul from Nunhead Ariels was very helpful to us and had some device which showed whether the fault was the signal or TV .Perhaps he could help ?

Thats weird as the menu screens should stay up even if

no aerial or digital box is there - so it's the TV ??

Clean the ventilation of dust - might be overheating

Also the link below shows a few people pressing channel

up down as a Sony starts (why would that work)
