I have a Panasonic TXL 42E 30B TV. When pressing the guide button for all stations it wont show BBC1 Digital TV.

The only way I can accesses BBC1 is to press 101 on the pad which shows it as the HD Chanel and I can also view the rest of the programs to follow.

When I first switch on the TV and pressing one on the pad I get BBC1.

If I press the guide button it takes me to the old Analog BBC1.?

I have tried retuning the TV and it shows BBC1 as been found and continues with all other programs, but there is no BBC1 it starts with BBC2.

I have tried an identical Remote control and get the same results even after retuning.

I had a similar problem with an old settop box. It could store more than 99 stations but could only display 99 presumably because there were just 2 characters assigned to the station number. The solution was to delete a few stations that werent required to take it below 99 and BBC1 and BBC2 re appeared.

Did you resolve your problem?

The reason I ask is, we have a Panasonic TV with internet access (dont use the internet access very much) and tonight we have No service for ITV3 and channel 31 which is a 5 channel. Retuned and they disappeared from the guide. Strange thing is when I access the channels via a digital recorder they are still there. Strange.

Border View.

Funny you should mention ITV3 as I have lost it also. I have a Samsung TV and Panasonic PVR and after retuning have lost it on both.

Tele does its own thing looking for new channels. Before I could even click on menu hubby said that a notice had come up saying found new channels click OK to install. Bingo ITV3, QVC, 5* and 5USA are back. Phew, thought the Panasonic was up the spout.

As a matter of interest I tried a different PVR, same make and model, but on a different aerial and it was OK so I rigged up a masthead amp on the original setup and aerial and now that works ok so in my case it was signal strength that was the problem.

Ex plorer - have you tried the Panasonic web site and e-mailing their help desk. This might get you somewhere. Why not google "lost BBC1 on Panasonic" and see what comes up.

Hope you get your problem sorted soon.
