Channels keep going missing
I was flicking though my channels the other day and noticed loads of them had vanished - c4+1, ITV 2 and quite a few others. I did a new scan and they all reappeared. However just noticed tonight that they have all gone again? Anyone got any idea whats happening?

Got the same problem - usually relates to ITV, Five and the C4 channels.

Haven't a clue, usually just do a re-scan every morning.

Have you checked signal quality?
I'd hazard a guess that maybe if your signal gets lost then potentially the channels might disappear from the epg during housekeeping. |

Signal quality is always around 80% on the channels that go missing for me.

Check to see if there's any common element like frequency band and polarity. Loss of a band or polarity could be a lnb problem. Loss of transponders around a specific frequency might be local interference (Wifi router) or water ingress. into the coax cables. Does the epg entry just disappear or is it just missing entries ?

80% quality? You should call out an engineer! (Or did you mean 80% strength?)
