Freeview - re-tuning

[dbboy]

Oh what fun, yet more technology to contend with, anyone experiencing problems re-tuning?

[reetpetite]

Nah took me 5 mins easy peasy.

[Jah Lush]

My remote doesn't work so how am I expected to re-tune? Urgh!

[Brendan]

Re-tune? What? Why?

What's going on here damit!

[????]

Too late Brendan. Your TV is now defunct, for ever. I too will never see Cbeebies or Milkshake again.

So will the Freeview box that I got with Nectar points about 18 months ago and haven't been arsed to connect yet work?

[louisiana]

Probably. It's mainly the ancient ones that have a problem. There is a list online somewhere of the ones that won't work, or that need a manufacturer's code update.

Jah Lush - we've just been struggling to retune our BT Vision box .In the end we unplugged it and restarted it ,and it went automatically to the scan for new channels option.

We do have a remote ,but I notice that the box itself also has an OK/select button.

But if you have a freeview TV maybe it's different.Have you checked if the TV has a an OK/select button?

[reetpetite]

Its so straight forward I cant see where you are having a problem you only have to start the installation option on the menu button just as you do when you first install the box.Its just the same for tv's with builtin Freeview.

[intexasatthe moment]

Using the menu the scanning process just wouldn't commence. Don't know why ,it just sat there for 10 mins with 0% completed.

It was only when we unplugged it that it started rescanning for channels .

I know RP but there's some of us who think if we look doltish, helpless and baffled in the face of technology, we'll appear 'cute'.

What d'you reckon?

[reetpetite]

:))

Cute Fucking nothing mate! Chaos! It?s been fucking chaos here tonight.

[daizie]

In my experience freeview boxes have a mind of their own , no rhyme or reason, mine switches itself on and off. Always when im watching what katie did next .

[Brendan]

I don't blame it.

[bigbadwolf]

No problems up on the hill.

We've retuned our box but for some reason we're now getting hardcore pornography on every channel, except for The History Channel which seems to be showing Bod on loop.

Is anyone else having this problem?

No TV = No problem, BBW. Do you have leccy on the hill?

[bigbadwolf]

Do you have leccy on the hill?

I wouldn't be able to use the internet if I didn't have electricity now would I smart arse.

[Mick Mac]

I have internet on my mobile phone - leccy free.

[*Bob*]

Your mobile phone works without electricity?

What does it run on? Magic?

[Mick Mac]

technology is all magic to me bob. Never understood any of it.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Its because you are in texas at the moment. If you were in the uk it would probably work.
