cBeebies has stopped working :(

[james_tigerwoods]

I'm in North Lincolnshire and I seem to have lost cBeebies - it either shows as no signal or it has a very broken, unwatchable, signal. This has only happened in the past couple of months and has slowly got worse - It's on a Humax pvr9150t, but I doubt it's model specific.

I've retuned (several times) and turned the antenna power on and off to no avail.

I've also lost BBC Parliament, but that's no great loss to me - the problem is that my 3 year old loves the programs on cBeebies.

Is it just me? And/or is there a way I can manually tune it to pick up the signal?

It's only available in the Welsh Language version now - Cybybys.

Is this on Freeview?

I've had to retune my Freeview a few times over the past month. There should be a retune button in your menu somewhere.

I've been getting a crap signal on all BBC Channels (and just about watchable other channels) since the digital switch-over, all though some of the TVs are better than others. My dad seems to think that the house needs rewiring and we need a new aerial.

This is on an LG but should be similar with all digital TVs.

1) Menu.
2) Choose manual tuning.
3) Change UHF channel, go through all clicking "update" or "scan".

It will pick up all channels, including the adult ones though.

It is on Freeview and it's been retuned many, many times in the past month to try to resolve this - but only using the Auto tuning option...

Check here : https://faq.external.bbc.co.uk/templates/bbcfaqs/e...

in case there's engineering work, or you're using the wrong transmitter.

I auto tuned my TV originally but it didn't find all the channels a manual tune (update) on each of the UHF frequencies found.

I've tried retuning and the search isn't even picking up Cbeebies - what am I is my daughter going to watch now??

Slowly getting worse suggests a reception problem. Check with your neighbours and see if they have an issue, if not it's likely to be your aerial or cabling.

Good luck. I feel your pain.

Or a faulty box. We had this a few years ago - replacing the box sorted the problem.
