freeview query...

[mr cat]

just got a freeview box via ebay - when trying to set it up it states that there's no channels found when I do the auto setup and that I have to check the aerial connection and start again...

I have it setup as follows -
tv - digi box via scart
digi box - aerial

I've changed the various scart connections around with different combos but still the same...

am I doing something stupid..?

If you're able to see the menu's and such (which I assume you can, as they're telling you no channels are found), then that connection is fine. Perhaps your ariel isn't up to it?

Check here to see what reception is like in your area by putting in your post code.

I find it strange that *no* channels are found at all though.

digi box - aerial

..are you using a digital aerial?

expect so, but just asking as I had to change mine when I started with my humax pvr.

Mines up the swanney just for the moment but i suspect its something different.
