Can you manually delete all the existing channels before retuning ?

Re: freeview nightmare + grumpy daughter

there are no channels stored . it finds about 75 channels and some radio stations then says please wait then the screen goes blank and a screen saver type message comes up no signal.

Re: freeview nightmare + grumpy daughter

from another website:

click menu, on station prog go to EDIT. Press blue button twice, then go to rescan prog. (it seems to clear all previous scanned programs and starts again.

good luck
