SAORVIEW RE-SCAN OCT 21ST 2013 Due to technical enhancements to the SAORVIEW service, as part of the ongoing process of expanding the platform, viewers are required to carry out a rescan of their SAORVIEW television or set-top box from Monday 21st October. Failure to re-scan will result in eventual loss of service. Re-tuning is simple, go to the menu on your tv or set top box and find the option to re-tune, scan or search for channels. Instructions will be found in your TV or set-top box manual or for more information about how to re-tune, click on ourGuide to Re-Scanning SAORVIEW APPROVED Equipment. There is also an information helpline available, call 1890 222 012http://www.saorview.ie/news/saorview-re-scan-oct-21st-2013/

Paddy C wrote: » Is the test of News Now on 21 perhaps because it could move there to keep it separate from the entertainment channels? I doubt it, seeing as Saorview is hardly ever going to be packed with channels to need categories, but it is an interesting thought.

Or, maybe it's being re-located to 11 to logically be the first number in the second block of 10. So, if there were to be an RTE2+1, it may appear on 12, TV3+1 on 13 and so on. The likelihood of that, though, is another discussion!

The Cush wrote: » Had a look at the manual, a number of models from that 2010 range didn't have a country selection option, hadn't come across that previously. Where did you buy it in Ireland? Did a manual scan on each frequency and the SSU data "channels" appear first in the list for each mux, that's been the case for a long time IIRC. Don't know what's changed now that it cannot be moved. Unfortunately we're stuck with 2 different receiver specs for the 2 countries so basically it's tough luck for buying the wrong TV.
Sam Russell wrote: » There is no option for country - it is UK only. The TV tunes the muxes either by automatic numbering - all channels in the 800s, or it puts them in the 1, 2, 3, etc. order that it finds them, and they can be moved around as you like. Or at least that was the way it was before 2rn messed with the signal the other week and created 50 channels. What happens now is the channels are loaded starting with 2, 3, 4, etc. There is no 1 channel anymore. I suspect that channel 1 is taken by a data channel in some way and it is not showing in the list. Also I get the impression that it is an OTA software download channel. It is carried on both mux1 and mux2, as it is the same whether I load mux1 first or mux2 first. Could someone look at the data and see if I am right? I think I will cart the TV to a Freeview reception area and tune in BBC1 etc, then tune in Saorview, bring it home and do a manual retune for 30 and 33, then delete all the Freeview channels and see if that fixes it. 2rn are deffinitely playing silly buggers with the signal. They have managed to disable the series link for the non-saorview recorders, and they have buggered up the summer-time. Now they have buggered up the LCN for non-soarview sets. Do they do it for fun, or what? I am not happy.

I still have the original LCN's on 6 & 8 but no channel ID labels. The problems don't only apply to non Saorview approved STB's.

Oscarziggy wrote: » On my Sony TV ,yes 800 is the SSU channel and the rest are stored above that with RTE1 HD at 801. The Sony has the ability in the menu system to shift any channel to wherever you want it so all my RTEs and Radio are stored from 801 upwards. The UK Freeview ones are where the rescan puts them so above that at 800 is a good place to start. It's a shame the OP hasn't this option on his TV. Regards

Sam Russell wrote: » What has Freeview got to do with it? We are talking about Mux2 (and mux1) and 2rn mucking about with the signal and having an effect on TVs that used to work perfectly. It is 2rn that is at fault here.
