Lost BBC1 and BBC2 (not even Welsh BBC) on my Sony Bravia

Hello

I've posted my question here as I have a Humax 9300-T PVR which my Sony Bravia is connected to.

I live in Manchester and all the time watch my TV channels via my PVR but checked only today whether I had BBC 1 and BBC 2 on my digital TV and I don't. Literally there is nothing there it says, 'Selected programme is not available'.

I appear to have all my other digital channels on my TV but was wondering if anybody else has had this problem with their Sony Bravia.

I've never had to tune in my Sony Bravia as when I turned the TV on when I first got it it recognised that it needed to pick up channels so if somebody suggests re-tune the digital channels (which may in fact be the solution) I'd be grateful to hear how I do this.

Thank you

Its not a problem with your tv. I had to do the same with my LG on saturday. Just retune it, it will find them again. They have been moved as part of the digital switchover.

oh and how to retune it, if you go the menu and there should be a "setup" section, if you go in there you should find the option to scan for channels. If you cant find your way around the menus then it might be a case of.... Shouldnt be too difficult to find though, good luck

You should follow the procedure in the post here. You can expect still to have problems after doing that. Humax are developing a software fix for these issues. See the post here and discussion in the same thread.

You are in Manchester so receiving from the Winter Hill transmitter which has undergone the first part of dso. The Welsh transmitter at Moel-y-Parc is causing problems with the Humax machines and other equipment.

See this thread :

BBC 1 & 2 Wales but i don't live in Wales!

My Panasonic machines have coped well with autoscan of Winter Hill channels. My Sony Bravia TV is in another room and is connected to the aerial trained on the Welsh transmitter at Moel. I recently did an autotune of the digital channels with no problems. So for Winter Hill on your Sony TV just do an autotune. You need to select DIGITAL from the Menu before doing the autoscan.

Also see this other link regarding the Humax rescans.
