Webuser Forums: FreeView

Hope this is the right place to post.

My dad has a freeview box (made by echostar), one of those cheap and cheerful ones c£30 but only about 12 months old (could ask him to look for a receipt I guess but if like me it would have been binned ages ago for £30)

Over the weekend he couldn't get BBC1 or BBC2 with the message 'no signal being received' so I checked all his cables and then re-tuned the freeview box. It didn't bring BBC1 or BBC2 in at all now so now there is no channel 1 or channel 2 to select at all.

I have removed the power supply for 5 mins hoping to re-set the box to no avail, there is no option to 'skip' a channel so that isn't the answer - all other channels are viewable and the picture is perfect so it's not the ariel.

I live 5 mins from him and my freeview BBC1 & BBC2 worked so it's not even a transmitter problem (I don't think)

Chuck it away and buy another and hope that works? or is there another option?

thanks in advance

David
