Interestingly, a friend rang me this morning, to say that he was at the
house of a work colleague, and he was having a similar problem to you with a
Sammy 32". It actually kept reporting "Weak Signal" on the screen,
apparently.

I suggested that he did a complete 'new install' retune, to see what
happened. he rang back a couple of hours later to say that it was all now
sorted and working fine with quote "hundreds of channels". The only problem
that he had was that he reckons that he could not find a new install option
in the tuning sub-menu, so he did a bit of thinking outside the box, and
selected a 'wrong' country setting, and then asked it to do a retune. This,
he claims, caused it to find nothing, which cleared out the tuning memory,
so that when he set it back to "UK" and repeated the procedure, it found all
the correct multiplexes for where the antenna was pointing.

I was a bit sceptical about there not being a total reset option buried
somewhere 3 or 4 menu levels down, but whatever. His method did the job,
even if it was a bit around the houses ...

OK on the nic. It is of course my tongue-in-cheek tribute to the great
George Cole, and one of my favourite characters of his, Arthur Daley

With nothing to lose, I tried that. I got great ITV pictures and no BBC!

So - I reset to factory condition and then retuned.

Right now I've got good pictures on *all* channels! <rolls eyes>

There's *nothing* worse than an intermittent fault! Grrrr!

It was working fine, then didn't work? This suggests a possible change in
reception conditions. You should definitely swap the sets, as suggested.

However...

You've lost SD reception (SD being 625-line PAL), but not HD, right? As far
as I know, SD and HD use separate tuners. (I think.) I could be that the SD
tuner has gone out.

Do you mean just the front end, or the IF section, too?

Given his description, it's hard to believe it was caused only by a change
in signal level.

We'll have a better when he swaps the sets.
