Many thanks for the prompt reply. Looking at the references you gave me, it seems I am not alone. No one has reported a solution, but I will try the full factory reset someone has suggested (60 sec push of the menu button on the set). It is supposedly an 8k set, so that cannot be the reason. It has been quite troublesome over the years, with repeated loss of sound, which I eventually learnt how to fix through the engineering menu.

Curiouser and curiouser! I swapped the Tosh 17WLT46B for a Wharfedale LCD1710AF, which appears to be a rebadged version of the same chassis, with identical on-screen graphics and all the controls in the same relative position. It tuned in a treat, and Mother-in-law is now sorted. I brought the Tosh home where we watch Hannington. On retuning, it failed to find channels 1-8, and only started on channel 9, though the Wharfedale that was there before was fine. I fear Tosh is destined for the tip!

jb38. Thanks for your interest and knowledgeable comments. It seems to me that this all comes back to the 2k/8k issue, and that perhaps on DSO2 at Rowridge I would have lost Channels 3-8 as well as 1-2 which disappeared at DSO1. This would perhaps explain why I can't get 1-8 on Hannington, which is now fully switched. Does this make sense? Is there any way of downloading new software to upgrade the Toshiba?

jb38 I think you are right about not getting Hannington on the old Tosh. Here in Winchester we can get both Rowridge and Hannington, and looking at the signal strength I think I was probably getting Rowridge (after DSO1 but before DSO2)from the back of the aerial pointing at Hannington, rather than anything from Hannington post DSO2. Anyway, the Tosh is now definitely for the tip, and many thanks for your knowledgeable and timely advice

Winchester
Otterbourne north of Southampton at SO21 2EE. This is a care home with a communal aerial where all the other TVs have been successfully returned at first stage DSO except my Mother-in-laws Toshiba 17WLT46B. As with several of the above, Ch 24 seems to be empty and there is no sign of BBC1&2. I tried a variable in-line attenuator (2-20dB) but that made no difference, and I tried a piece of wire instead of any aerial - no signal at all! The Toshiba help-line says keep trying and wait until after DSO 2 on 21 March, but that leaves my Mother-in-law with no BB1&2. Any ideas?
