Since the reshuffle of Digital TV stations very recently, I have two Toshiba TV's that will now not retune on Digital TV.
I am NW based on the Winter Hill transmitter.

Both TV's are in separate houses showing exactly the same fault.
I cannot even get a tuning menu up when its in Digital mode.
All the correct menus function when the Sky box is connected.

All I get is a black screen, but the TV is definitely on.

Driving me insane, any thoughts would be appreciated.

I have done the obvious things, disconnected everything except the aerial lead, powered down etc;

Managed to get through to some geezer at Toshiba Technical and he has said that the TV's need a firmware update.
Wonder how many people are struggling with this ???
Thanks for your response

My Panasonics, JVC and Samsung all retuned just fine too !
It really odd, anyway Toshiba sent me a firmare update on a memory card and it didnt work.
One Toshiba now on the tip, the second earmarked for same location.
Lifes too short ....

It isnt worth the hassle as it just takes too long. Haven't bothered going back to Toshiba either.
TV was several years old anyway and not really up to the job anymore.
It being faulty made the decision for me.
