Sagem PVR6280T Freeview Receiver Re-tune problems

Having been sliced and diced overnight for Winter Hill, I seem to have a problem with my Sagem freeview PVR, no BBC at all. I have re-scanned but still no BBC. I know it is still there as on my Wharfdale in the other room I can view them so I am unclear at this moment in time what is causing this loss. After scanning, the EPG begins at No 3

My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 6 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/10E/13E/16E/ 19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S

The 6280 is one of the problem sets associated with the current retune:

Maybe you should take at look in the digital spy forums - terrestrial -pvrs, where theres is a Sagem section. There is a short thread on exactly your problem.

My System: Triax 1.1m and Orbital 80cm Motorised Dishes. Various fixed Dishes. Eclectic selection of Digital and Analogue Receivers. Complex switching and distribution that SWMBO cannot fathom. Nor me.

Ok now

Well after much reading I decided to take the plunge and do a factory reset, by entering menu / receiver settings / 4th option down factory reset. It did not at first look promising and took quite a long time, I can only assume it was downloading new software OTA, it then went through initialisation procedures again, language and then country etc and hey presto all channels available including the elusive BBC1 and BBC 1 a result

The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken!

I wish my two Oggle boxes were the same, still mixed up channels, BBC channels up in the 800s, and I've got to replace the aerial with a regular one, the high gain one is not necessary...

Still, I now have a number to call Sony about the effed up TV, and hopefully get it fixed so I can use my 2nd oggle box elsewhere...

I think your car looks funny too......

You might find it easier to insert an attenuator.

Don't know what sort to use, so easier just to get a cheap standard aerial from Wilkos and replace the one that's up there in the attic (aswell as securing the poorly-fitted mount that lacks a clamp at the base!!!) and sell that to someone in a weak signal area...

Digital Spy Forums - understood! I only ever bother with the Freeview PVR section. I have a cheapo Digifusion PVR and I have found that section of the forum very useful at times.
