Hi, all my ARQB channels disappeared after adding new channels to my Panasonic recorder box a while ago (those channels disappeared on the Sony Brava TV around the same time too). Have tried the resetting procedure without aerial etc on both box and TV several times - the first time it seemed to have worked, with ITV4 showing perfect reception for a few minutes before breaking up completely. Now though, it still isn't working - either shows the channel but can't play or doesn't even pick it up at all.
This is the main TV system, but the two other systems in the house using the same aerial have unaffected signals. There are also no other devices plugged in to cause interference.
Very grateful for some insights as this is most frustrating...

Thanks JB, I'm in Crawley (rh11) - is that Crystal Palace? Will have a look at swapping tv's round tomorrow - not looking forward to the aggro though....

How bizarre ... when I switched the box on again this afternoon, I got that 'new channels found' message and suspected it might be the ARQB set. Hit 'ok' and next thing I know I'm watching Tour de France coverage on ITV4 for two hours without any problems whatsoever. Still OK now, and those extra channels have magically reappeared on the TV too - ie when the box is switched off.
Will see how long this lasts, but one thing's for sure, I won't be responding to any more 'new channels' messages - so frustrating when it actually loses them rather than finds them...
Anyway, it's a horizontal aerial, so it's C28 - will be handy to know that for future manual tuning purposes if the reception starts going wonky again. Thanks for your help JB!
