Never had a problem before changeover, but I scan it finds 106 channels I store and can watch channels, put TV into standby, switch back on and all gone no signal, rescan all back again. This is effecting 2 out of 4 TV's, 1 fed straight from RF1 on Sky Box, others from RF2 through Amp. When scanned all channels 80% and good picture. I have tried the power down and scan without aerial and then as new install on both problem sets and will see if that works, thanks for the help.

David: Can you use the checklist on the Freeview signals: too much of a good thing is bad for you | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice page, as you didn't provide a full postcode.

As above we 4 TV's, 2 are keeping the scan and 2 are losing it when put in standby and then require rescan. First TV is straight out of RF1 on the Sky Box, this loses all channels once the TV is put into standby, the other TV is fed from the Amp in the roof which is Fed from RF2 on Sky Box, however 2 other TV's fed from the same amp do not lose channels when put into standby. It sounds like the receivers in these 2 TV's cannot handle it. If I do away with the amp I think I will lose my Sky which I have set to Ch38 on ATV. Any more ideas.

Steve: You have not provided a postcode or model details of your equipment, so I can't really say specifics.
Some older Freeview equipment fails to store channel lists when there are more than 100 found, but generally speaking the problem can be sorted out by doing My Freeview box has no EPG, is blank on FIVE, ITV3, ITV4, ITV2+1, has no sound or the channel line up is wrong | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .
But if that doesn't work, then you will probably need to get a couple of new Freeview boxes.
