my freeview box does random things sometimes. normally stuff like changing channel instead of volume; nowt to worry about.

just now though i pressed the info button and it changed the sound to "english, visually impaired"

now i have no proper sound, just some old guy describing what happens

how the feck do i reset it? :fist:

have you tried rescanning all the channels? :unsure: and also, can you get e4? mine doesn't pick it up :dry:

there's nothing about it in settings. and i don't wanna rescan channels because it never gets them all in one go and it puts them in a stupid order.


and yes i have E4 but there's never anything on other than boring bastards live and friends :dry:

did you have to change your aerial when you got the box, or did you stick with the one you had up? you might need a different one, or just pointing the one you have in another direction might help :unsure:

Take the remote apart and clean it, for some reason they sometimes get a build-up of condensation. Cleaned mine and it works perfectly now.

I don't have "english, visually impaired". :cry:

We use amplified indoor aerials for the freeview boxes in the sprogs rooms and they work fine.

Pick up all the channels available.
