FreeView (just retuned) has ceased to include all those extra channels - leaving just basic BBC and ITV.

I have Virgin cable for main TV, but use a newish MEDION Windows Vista PC for recording via Windows Media Centre and the Online Guide - the signal for this comes from the old rooftop aerial - thus I can record whilst watching another channel. It has worked without a problem up until last week when the big 'retune so that 5 can be made more available' instruction was issued.

So here's the thing - no matter how many times I have tried to retune using the TV settings menu, when the Media Centre scans, it only comes up with around 14 stations - just regional BBC and ITV basic variants. Nothing else at all - no BBC 3 or 4, no Dave, No anything 'extra'.

Any help would be appreciated - thanks in advance

So much for Freeview's advice of 'try again' - included in this news story, complete with other tales of woe from users such as yourself....

I also had problems with Windows Media Center and after rescanning I had no channels at all. After the forth rescan bingo all channels were found again. Not sure why, I did nothing other than to keep rescanning.
