Waltham (Leicestershire, England) Full Freeview transmitterWednesday 17 August 2011 10:14AM

I've now manually retuned the Sony TV to the East Midlands. However, when I auto retune it goes to Look North. How can I stop this happening every time I need to retune? The recorder and the Panasonic Tv have no problem in tuning to East Midlands?

Thank you Mike. I think I will have to live with the problem. At the age of 71 all this is far too complicated for me. It's just that I like my local news to be local!

Thanks for the suggestion regarding the postcode. I've looked in my instruction book but can only find details concerning language and country choices. Did you input a postcode to your Sony TV?

Thanks for the advice. My Sony Bravia TV is about 4 years old. Unfortunately my TV aerial is on top of a converted Water Tower belonging to my neighbour.
I think I will have to put up with the inconvenience of manually retuning.

Dominic,
Thanks again. I remember now, a couple of years ago I turned off "Auto service update" & "Software download" when Sony had problems with my model. At the same time there were terrible problems with the Sony recorder bought at the same time which lost most of the set timer recordings. I've turned these settings back on. Sony finally issued a patch for the problem. I have no technical knowledge and it took all of my brain power to follow the instructions.

My problem getting Belmont instead of Waltham has persisted after the 31st August switchover despite being very close to the Waltham Transmitter.
The irony is the dvd recorder connected to the TV has no difficulty in retuning automatically to East Midlands, so why is the TV being awkward? I have manually retuned the TV to 61(BBC) and 54(ITV)to get Waltham for these channels - I shall just have to hope that I don't have to retune again!

Thank you for your reply. I suppose I shouldn't grumble as I get a perfect picture from both transmitters - it is just I do like to get local news from BBC East Midlands not Look North.

A slight problem with ITV1. I'm receiving this channel from Waltham (manually tuned). During daytime hours I get a very good picture. In the evening when switching to ITV1 it takes several minutes for the signal to come through. Will ITV1 improve as days go by?

I have a Sony TV - very good Freeview signal from Waltham. Panasonic TV all BBC channels have disappeared from 21st March.
Any ideas? I would be most grateful (complete novice)

I retuned my TVs and Recorder this morning (17th Aug). I now get Look North on the Sony TV, East Midlands on the Recorder connected to the Sony TV and East Midlands on the Panasonic TV. All connected to the same aerial. The ariel is located on the roof of my neighbours property. (a high Water Tower). I live very close to the Waltham transmitter,
