Just been up the road to sort out a near neighbour who, since last night, was only getting a few channels. He'd done an automatic scan for but, although it said there were 70-odd channels, he could only see a few of them. He rang the help line and they patiently took him thru a manual scan. Lots popped up but again he couldn't actually view them. They suggested it might be a problem with his aerial - even though he was getting 95% signal.

What I did was a 'restore defaults' which put the box back to square one. It then asked a few questions about the setup and then did another automatic scan. Bingo! All is fine and dandy now.

The box was a Setanta / Metronic one if anyone has the same.
