Can't get channels to work

Scarlett. · 2010-12-30 16:34:27

Hi, I got a Sony Bravia BX400 as posted on Bargain Alerts (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056128298). I've tried auto tuning and I can't get any digital channels, and the only analogue channels that came up are RTE1 and RTE2 but there is only sound and an occasional scrambled picture.

I've tried auto tuning and I can't get any digital channels, and the only analogue channels that came up are RTE1 and RTE2 but there is only sound and an occasional scrambled picture.

On my old television I could get RTE1, RTE2, TV3 and TG4 with perfect reception. I am a complete newb, where do I go from here ?

Can you confirm if you are using an indoor or outdoor Aerial ?
If it's indoor did you reposition the Aerial in the same place as before ?

In general if you get TG4 and TV3 on analogue you will get perfect DTT.

What type aerial have you got ?

Where is it pointing.

There are 2 DTT transmitters

Mullaganish Ch 21 (474MHZ)

Knockmoyle Ch 52 (722MHZ)

Probably the Knockmoyle. Try manually scanning that dvb-t frequency and see are you getting any life in the signal bar.

Might be an idea to re-connect the old TV again and see what were the UHF channel numbers/MHz frequencys for RTE 1/2/TV3/TG4 and then try manual analogue/digital tuning with new TV knowing what the frequencies are, along with the matching DTT frequency (Mullaghanish/Knockmoyle) STB has stated above.

Also check cable connections. Could have been loosened etc. with installation of new TV.
