ITV1, Ch4 and Ch 5 have suddenly disappeared from Freeview today. ITV2 andITV 1+1 a well. Everything else OK, as well as analogue works on ITV1, 4 and 5. EPG works. If I press the actual channel number for the non working channels, the programme info comes up as usual, but no picture !
I live in Surrey. There was a comment from someone which makes me reluctant to retune unless as a last resort. Why should a handful of channels just disappear ? I have Freeview in a Toshiba DVD recorder.

I know this is history, albeit recent, but can anyone explain why all Freeview channels disappeared from my Panasonic DVD recorder the afternoon of 17/4, i.e. the day before switchover ? All attemts to re-tune failed to work, but next morning they were back !!

Sorry if this is a stupid question (!), but is the Red Button teletext service the same as pressing the Text button on the remote ? That is, will all BBC text services disappear from televisions ??

Thanks ! Very sad news though ; I find it very useful. Another example of the BBC running down....

Sorry, I'm not being rude, and it's probably a technical thing, but why are do so many articles on this site read like gobbledegook ??

More an observation, as pointed out by Roger I think. Every time I look at Crystal Palce on here, there's yet another week of maintenence. It seems there's been continuous work for years ! It looks beyond a joke now !! Are they REALLY doing maintenance constantly ??
