My grandad phoned me last night to say he rescanned to get drama but since then he gets 'poor/no signal' notice on bbc1,bbc2,bbc news.
i cant see how a retune could do this and told him itll prob return once it cools down (just to stop him nagging and nattering to my nana). Any work being done at emley that could cause this?
thanks guys

If he's retuned while it's duff, he will probably have lost all the channels, so will have to retune again once it's back to normal.
Plus there is a chance that a more distant transmitter that normally is below the detection threshold of the TV/STB is now just about poking it's head above the parapet (so to speak) and is beeing seen before the Emley Moor frequencies.
So the TV/STB assigns those services to the "correct" channel numbers and the Emley Moor services could be up in the 800s.
If that is the case then a manual tune feeding in the UHF channel numbers for the Emley Moor muxes might sort the problem.
alls fine now and my nanas happy hes not moaning in her ear
The old problem of Belmont powering in.
Bit of a bummer having a rescan to do during skip conditions
That should show the transmitter and channel numbers required. Using those you tell the TV what to do rather than let it cock it all up by itself
The alternative is to buy a telly that adds new channels silently in the background without you having to do anything. Which is what my LG did when Drama started up.
I always manually scan for minor changes, a full rescan invariably messes something up on one or other of my TVs/PVRs.
