I get through to that one every time, where the freeview site is timing out

If any one is uncertain how to re-tune their TV/box/recorder here's a site to get either your full manual of just the retuning section as a PDF

Ok, I have an Explorer 4200DVB and my recorder is a panasonic, and I record thru the A1 which picks up whatever my STB is tuned to.

Will I need to re-tune my recorder? or retune anything on the STB that I mentioned earlier?

I am kind of concerned about the recorder to be honest.

On a separate issue I am lead to believe that the analogue switch off in my area is 2012

ANYTHING that recieves freeview will have to be retuned

joglynne · 29-09-2009, 12:19

As I am still on the official site I thought I would get more information in case the site falls over completely.

This is in case you find that your TV/box/recorder fails to re-tune tomorrow.

STB could mean any box that sits near a TV and receives signals.. What's the make/model number? If it's a standard VM STB that connects to the VM cable then yes it is DVB-C

Come Mods what has this got to do with Virgin TV

The OP was asking whether his cable box would be affected, which is a fair question. He can't be the only one unsure about this.

And as mentioned about, Virgin do supply Freeview boxes too.

As this is the forum Virgin Media Cable TV Services not Freeview
having answered his question should not it then be moved ? . Just trying to understand the thinking. I have been moved - its fine- but could not see that I was any more off the mark than this is.

No it does not need to be moved.
