Freeview Tuner doesn't show Freeview channels

[abu baniaz]

BBC channels will show the HBBTV sign because that is what they have on the data tables.

Which viewing mode do you want to use?
All (can work for you): Select the services with a tower once you enable service type icons
Satellites (orbital position - will work). Select the Terrestrial one
Provider (waste of your time). But will be in unknown category
Bouquets (will work for you). Select the Terrestrial bouquet


Post a screenshot of what you see.

...If you have configured your box to show a transmitter or satellite icon then the contents of "unknown" will show a transmitter tower icon.

Just to add to this post, enable the option that says "Show service type icons"

I read all your posts after this post and the pdf but I still don't know what buttons to press to get to the menus you mentioned.

Can you please give me step by step instructions on how to access the menu in your screenshot.

I use the “Open Magic HD Night” skin so my Grid EPG looks different than Grid EPG. Don't know if that makes a difference or not.

When watching a channel I press the down arrow then I press the green button for Satellites. A screenshot of what I see then is below:

4Seven HD is exclusive to Freeview so I'm looking for that channel in all the channel lists in the screenshot above. Couldn't find it.

I also pressed the yellow button for Providers. Screenshot of providers screen is below:

I went into each of the channels lists in the screenshot above but couldn't see 4SevenHD.

You said this:

Satellites (orbital position - will work). Select the Terrestrial one
Provider (waste of your time). But will be in unknown category
Bouquets (will work for you). Select the Terrestrial bouquet

I assume everything with 28.2E in my first screenshot is the orbital position you're referring to?
Bouquets (will work for you). Select the Terrestrial bouquet - What thing in my first screenshot were you referring to when you said that?

Q. How can I watch 4Seven HD on Terrestrial/Freeview?
A. You cannot. It closed on 22 June.

In your first screenshot, select Terrestrial services. Once you access it, the terrestrial services will be listed alphabetically. You can then select the services that work.

Note:
You are in Extended mode, press Green to go into simple mode. You will see fewer lists.

In your second screenshot, you wouldselect unknown. But this is a waste of your time.

You are better off pressing Blue to show Favourite, then selecting the Terrestrial bouquet. You have not shown a screenshot of it.

OK I did what you said. When watching a channel I press the down arrow then I press the green button for Satellites and I'm using Simple mode. I then go into "Terrestrial - Services (TV)". It just lists HbbTV channels. No HD channels are there.

I also tried the Blue Button > Favourites > Terrestrial. But it just has the same channels as above.

Daft question - your terrestrial tuner is T2, not just T ??

[abu baniaz]

A separate question, is your TV capable of receiving Freeview HD? If so, does your TV find HD services during a scan?

[abu baniaz]

Daft question - your terrestrial tuner is T2, not just T ??

His first post says it's DVB-T2.

@Skyfan, is your aerial pointing to Crystal Palace mast or a repeater?

[SkyFan]

Don't know about my TV. But my VU+ Duo 2 could receive Freeview fine with a USB tuner. Aerial from my wall socket went into that tuner. I'm now putting that cable into my Tiviar tuner instead.

I'm in Dumfries, Scotland. How do I find out where my aerial is pointed to?

[abu baniaz]

Did your USB tuner on Duo2 find HD Terrestrial services?

Did your USB tuner on Duo2 find HD Terrestrial services?

Yes it did.

[abu baniaz]

Have you tried the USB tuner on the Tiviar? Tuners have different sensitivities.

So why did you post "I'm in the UK - London."?
Teresstrail TV depends on where you live and which transmitter frequencies you scan for. There is no point in scanning for a London transmitter if you live in Scotchland as the range of each transmitter is limited (maybe to as little as 30km)

Put your postcode into
http://www.wolfbane.net/cgi-bin/tvd.exe?

and press go

You will be given a list of possible transmitters with a compass bearing from you house (post code) to the transmitter. You should be able to establish in which direction (bearing) your aerial is pointing.
