Freeview Ch 71, Cbs Drama.

Can't view anything on this channel on my BTTV box, just says No Information. Anybody else have this problem.

Judge Judy at the moment. When I use the channel guide, it shows nothing, but when I put the channel on it works.

[sapelesam]

I can't even view. Had a series record going that didn't record, woe is me.

[Mamyalynne]

Working here too.

[sapelesam]

Sorry cashier, my manners deserted me, thanks for checking.

[cashier]

Mine is an integrated tv not a box by the way, so it might be your box.

[sapelesam]

And as always, Ta Mamya.

It's fine for me.

If you're losing certain channels it's usually a sign of poor signal strength. (The signals at your aerial aren't consistent in strength. They're affected by all sorts of things, including atmospheric pressure, precipitation, solar radiation from flares on the sun's surface, interference from electrical equipment in your home and those of your neighbours, etc). Different groups of channels use different frequencies, with TV aerials being better at receiving some frequencies than others. So when receiving conditions are poor, if you're aerial's not fully up to the job you'll lose reception on certain groups of channels. (If you're having problems receiving Ch 71, it's likely that you'll have problems with Channels 19, 31 and 79 - among others - because they share the same 'multiplex').

So you need to improve the strength of the signal getting to your BT TV box. A simple signal booster, for around a tenner from major supermarkets, together with an aerial fly lead (for a pound or two from 'discount' stores) should solve your problem.

I'm pretty sure there was a message a few days ago stating that this channel was going to be on channel 39 in future and we had to retune - maybe try this ?

Again, thanks all, Ch 71 came back all on it's own.
