Here are the results of a manual search on a Sony KP-41DS1U

The search was compiled by utalizing two transmitters Wenvoe & Mendips
as both these transmitters are accesible from my location in South Wales.

Anyone have any idea why the Sony fails to fid a number of transmitions, example: Discovery, UKTV Gold, Boomerang etc, the channels were picked up by my Pace Freeview receiver, I cant work out why

Many thanks to 'Laurals' for his help in getting the above frequency lists.

Those are all the Top-up TV Channels it's missing?

Any idea why the Sony can't pick them up, as it gets other Top Up channels like Discovery h&l uktv style etc

[MartinImber]

Phone Sony and ask for an update card you are not on 2.14 - as The Hits is missing.

Would I qualify for an update card, as the set was purchased recently via ebay,and as such is not new.
Also how would one use an update card, how can I find out if the set is 2.14.

Hi
Channel 18 (the hits) missing is a known fault with some of the earier digital CTVs, contact Sony for your next course of action.
Nigel

[mrtbag]

Contact Sony on 08705 111 999. They send you a card. You slip it in the back of the TV. The TV updates the software. You send back the card. They can also talk you through checking the software version.

Thank you mrtbag, I shall indead follow your advice, and contact Sony on the number you so kindly posted for me.
