    Hi I am on the silvercrest lidl system and I am delighted with it however channel four is causing me a bit of frustration as I have a perfect picture but no sound.

    I am on Astra 28.2 satelite.

    Is there something I can do?

    Please feel free to move this post if its in the wrong place.
    I have searched to see if anyone else had this problem but couldn't find anything...

    Check the audio pids against these:

    You could always just delete Channel 4 and add i back in.

    :) No problem, we were all like that once.

    Might I suggest that the easiest way to do this is to just delete channel 4 from your box and rescan using the following parameters:

    10714
    H
    22000
    5/6

    The manual you got with the Silvercrest should explain how to do it.

    First there are multiple versions of C4 - are they all affected ?

    Did you do your own scan for channels since you got the box ? or arre you relying on the scan that was done when the box left the factory? It would be worthwhile doing a full auto scan to pick up everything thats out there and you can then delete all the junk you don't want.

    At a minimum it would be worthwhile doing a TP (transponder) scan but you need to delete the C4 you have already before you do this, noting the TP that C4 is on.

    There is an edit option which allows you to delete individual channels so you could use that.

    If that sounds too complicated don't be afraid to play with the box. The worst damage that can happen is that you will delete all the channels and if that happens you can get them back is 5 mins by doing an Auto Scan and really with an FTA box there is no harm in knowing how to do that.

    last night I deleted channel 4 and did a rescan and lo and behold I discovered that I was only tuned into one (no audio) of about five or six channel fours. I also got a load of other channels I hadn't previously got.

    It seems the preset scan on the silvercrest box only scans for some programs as there was only 100 programs on it when I set it up. Since doing the scan I have got up on 800 programs. Lots are pay per view and rubbish but some useful ones in there too.

    It pays to experiment....

    Thanks for the help
