I'm currently watching Catchphrase on challenge but there's no picture only sound. Anyone know how to fix it? I have tried retuning but that didn't work.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I have a full challange on 46 and a few hours a day version on 795
The LCN795 EPG has no data here. Where are you located? The caption on 795 is on permanently even though it says "Back at 6am". If yours is on TV programming for a few hours, which hours are they? BTW 795 is not listed on DMOL
Both the ex-Challenge and ex-Pick TV+1 streams are showing an EPG on post-DSO Sutton Coldfield. As as been mentioned many times before, the switch was poorly undertaken and has exposed certain types of receiver more than others. A good opportunity for Sky, the owners of Challenge and Pick TV to sell the reliability of Sky instead of Freeview :rolleyes:.
795 remains the graveyard slot for a inaccurate caption, and I hope it's removed ASAP before it confuses any more. I'm wondering if some viewers may find Challenge on channel 44, the old Pick TV+1 slot due to the reuse of PIDs etc, and some receivers are just not liking it...
Freeview 46 is on UHF Channel C67 (shown as Mux ARQ A post re-tune 28th Sep on www.digitaluk.co.uk); Freeview 795 is on UHF Channel C48 (shown as Mux A / SDN post re-tune 28th Sep on www.digitaluk.co.uk)
It would appear the 28th Sep 11 re-tune for Mendip was not taken as an opportunity to tidy up this anomaly.
Channel 46 Challenge picture/sound with no EPG info
Channel 795 EPG info with the 'back at 6am screen' no picture/sound
My other TV's and such are working OK, both Pic/Sound and EPG all on 46. Its just the TUTV box that's wrong.
TUTV uses its own 14 day EPG produced by Inview which can take time to catch up also because it only is updated once a day. Their boxes can be switched to the Freeview 8 day EPG which is continuously updated. However TUTV acknowledge recording problems with the Freeview EPG and so recommend using the TUTV EPG instead until it is fixed (if ever).
LCN46 has a fully populated Freeview EPG, LCN795 has a blank Freeview EPG. So by the sound of your problem, I'd guess that the TUTV EPG is wrong again. If you're lucky they might fix it.
I wonder if it is due to ATOS who have taken over the coding & mux centre from Siemens. They are well known cock up merchants who do medicals for DWP without using proper doctors.
Thanks Ray. 46 EPG has allways been blank since the challenge change for me, i've not had it show any progs.
Its not the end of the world to use the manual record function on the TUTV box, but its a bit of a fiddle so fingers crossed they can get it fixed.
