Re: Freeview viewers reminded to retune
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

Re: Freeview viewers reminded to retune
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.

If you are experiencing problems with one of the affected Freeview products we recommend that you call your manufacturer directly for further assistance. A list of affected products can be found in the pdf below.

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

Re: Freeview viewers reminded to retune
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.
