Hi All.

Yesterday, I installed a new TV/Monitor.

It's a Foehn & Hirsch FH-22LMG.

Every thing was fine for the first few hours, the TV recognised the scart in put from my set top box straight off. giving good pictures.

Then later on,in the evening some channels started showing the message "you are not subscribed to this channel, ring blah blah cs to get this channel" or sometimes just "this channel not available, ring ********** and mention this code".

At first I thought this was an update issue and I needed to re-boot the samsung box. But after unplugging the box, waiting a few moments, the plugging it back in, it has, so far, refused to reboot fully, and sticks on "your virgin media service will start soon" Of course it does not start..

Could it be possible for my new TV to "fry" the Samsung box?

The new TV has freeview, I don't use this as naturally I prefer the lovely picture my settop box gives me, but could this be the problem? and is this a feature I can some how turn off/disable on the tv.

The service is only M size but is still good for the cost.However, when the channels started to disappear I thought it might be virgin reconstructing their service as so often happens.

Thanks all, any help would be much appreaciated.
