    Hi, was wondering if anyone can help me out here. I have a Cello 19" tv and has the Saorview built in. It was working fine until a few days ago and now I can't get any channels whatsoever on it! Any advice? TIA

    Is the aerial still connected at the rear?
    What type of aerial are you using?
    Have you tried a rescan/retune?

    Yes, the aerial is still connected and have been using the rabbits ears with no problem. I've tried a rescan with no success, I'm totally baffled why all of a sudden not one channel can be seen!

    Indoor aerials are generally not recommended as they can be subject to local interference, try moving it about to see if you pick up anything. Of course there could also be a problem with the TV, can you test it elsewhere?

    I doubt it's the aerial as it's not picking up anything at all, just displays 'Database empty'. So I reckon it could be the tv and I only bought it 6 months ago :(

    Still under guarantee, I would suggest doing a scan on a known working aerial at a friend's, neighbour's house or back at the shop to confirm a fault.
