Guest gzaerojon Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 i just got given an old on digital box for the bedroom, we turned it on, plugged it in ect and had loads of channels but as of this morning we now have lost signal on channels 4, 5, film 4 and itv (i think there's more but i can't remember what was there). everything else is there but just not these. i have been fiddling (as one does) and found a setting for UHF where you can change the numbers around. my questions are what is UHF? and has anyone got any ideas on how to get this working again? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 just go through the whole initial setup again mate, you'll find it under the options menu. this will basically go through and retrieve all of the channels you will be able to get.

Guest gzaerojon Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 don't watch channel 4 now why didn't i think of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 it's based purely on the reception that it has at the time of searching. some channels can come in and out of reception. mine does this with C5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 It may be worth getting a plug in signal booster - About 10 to 14 pounds from Argos or any electrical store. It will help with getting Ch 4 (Possibly!) and the other channels will be more stable. If it doesn't work, just return it to Argos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
