Ah thanks Ibear. If I use the Air option and digital tuning only, does that mean it won't reset our custom picture/sound settings etc.? Presumably it won't retune Virgin Media/dvd etc. either? That would be good if it works!
We don't really use freeview as we have Virgin Media but I decided over the weekend to retune our Samsung TV (approx 3 years old) so we have inbuilt freeview as a back up. It was ok before the switchover but now we've got 'no signal' and we can't retune as the 'digital media' option on the TV menu is greyed out, presumably because there's no signal. Help! Is there a way round this? My own stupid fault for not doing it at the changeover.
We have a basic rooftop aerial which was ok with the analogue freeview. Is it likely that we need a new aerial just to get the signal so we can tune it in? If so we probably won't bother.
We're in Essex so I'm guessing we're using the Crystal Palace transmitter. My mum's is tuned to this and she lives round the corner from us
Would appreciate any advice on this.
Always worth using a different cable between wall and TV. It is possible to damage it in ways that are not immediately visible.chrisjr: yes the aerial is connected, straight from the wall into the tv. It did work fine which is why I can't understand what's happened. Thanks for the explanation, not really very good with freeview! We've never had an amplifier, just the basic aerial.
