My Freeview Channels Have Disappeared

I wonder if this has happened to anyone else and if there's an inexpensive solution?
We used to get various BTV channels - BT Sport, Catch Up and On Demand - which we still do - but ever since the 23rd June upgrade, all my freeview channels have disappeared from the TV guide. The HD channels are listed but can't view those as we dont live in a BT Infinity-covered area (at least, we didnt last time I checked + they said they would email me when that changed). I have scanned repeatedly for channe;ls to see if I can recover the Freeview Channels but still no luck; so I now have no live TV except the 2 Sport Channels and zero radio stations either.
Help!!!

Well it could still be a poor signal or no signal coming down the aerial cable in which case none of the following would make a blind bit of difference, but here goes anyway.
(1) Try unplugging both aerial cable and ethernet cable from the back of the BT Vision+ box and doing the rescan. This should ensure it finds absolutely nothing, not even the BT Sport channels. Then plug them both back in and try the rescan again.
(2) Hold down the rectangular blue standby button on the front of the box for about 7 seconds. It will turn purple (standby), then flash red (eco standby), and then go off completely at which point the box will restart. Let go of the button and let it go through the restart process. Then try a rescan.
(3) The same as above but at the same time as holding the rectangular button also hold down both the OK+Down buttons on the front of the box. You can let go of those once the box restarts and you see the screen about software updating appear. Can be a bit tricky to do on your own.
.. and if you are feeling really brave ...
(4) The same as above but at the same time as holding the rectangular button also hold down both the Left+Down buttons on the front of the box. You can let go of those once the box restarts and you see the screen about resetting appear.
IMPORTANT: This will do a factory reset and all your recordings, scheduled recordings and other personal settings will be lost.
A simpler way to initiate the factory reset is just to go to Help & Settings > Settings > System Information and select the Factory Reset button at the bottom of the page.

Regular freeview channels have disappeared

Hi there,
After not watching TV for a few days, I switched on to find all of the regular freeview channels have dissappared. All that remain are the 'On Demand'/pay per view opitions. Three attempts at adding channels the obvious way have found a total of 0. I have restarted my router and repeated the process - no luck. Can anyone help?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Def an aerial issue, removing the lead from BTV box and rescanning after tweaking aerial lead a wee bit once in helped. BT came out and they also twisted the aerial lead around and it picked up channels again. BT man said the BTV boxes very sensitive to aerial connections. Hope this helps anyone else who finds themselves in this predicament. Thank you guilbo and pottyperson for your replies

Freeview channels disappeared

Hello I wonder if someone can help to solve our problem.
My BT YouView box will not show any Freeview channels.
I have 4 TV's in the house and the BT YouView box is attached to the big TV in the lounge.
All the other 3 TV's have perfect Freeview reception so its not the Freeview coverage or reception into the house.
BT sent a man to set everything up because our BT line in and Infinity router is upstairs and the lounge, big TV and BT YouView box are downstairs, therefore I did not set it up and am not generally very good with televisions.
Where should I start to diagnose this problem?
We don't want to call BT support because when we had a problem with the remote, we were put through to an Indian call centre, both my husband and I spoke to the agent and they could not even understand what our issue was, what type of remote we had, let alone solve the problem. In the end I googled it and found the solution from a messageboard similar to this.
I am so fed up with only being able to watch recorded TV or the BT internet channels in the lounge.
Please can you help us?
Many thanks,
Sarah

Hi everyone - again!
So I have checked and we are using a Humax BTDT1000.
The software is the latest available and was updated on 15th August.
Manufacturer software - 18.10.0
Component software - 2.5.6
Platform configuration - 1017
ISP configuration - 90.
I have also found the YouView box instruction manual and connected a 2nd aerial cable from the YouView box to the TV and have re-tuned the TV and hey-presto, the Freeview channels work on the TV. So the problem is with the BTDT 1000 BTYouView box.
Is there some way of fixing this?
Do I have to call the dreadful call centre?
Do I need a new box?
Please help as it's a complete waste of money as it doesn't even record the freeview channels so it's pointless.
Many thanks,
Sarah

Useful list of the Freeview channels as of 1st OCt

A useful list of the Freeview channels as of 1st OCt is at
http://www.freeview.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Freeview-Channel-Guide_1-Oct.pdf
Of course it gets quickly outdated ... eg when ITV Be starts on channel 26 on 8th OCt.
However it does list the various regional and local variants fairly clearly.

Sadly as I am on a Relay transmitter that is more like a wishlist! I get 24 channels and that includes SD/HD duplicates. Luckily I still have my old Sky box for the likes of ITV3&4, 5USA etc. could have sworn when the digital switchover took place I read somewhere that Relays would be upgraded too but no sign of that ever happening.

Inserts on Output Track have disappeared

I am working on a mix in Logic 8, and somehow the effects inserts on Output 1-2 (where I usually strap a bus compressor and limiter across the whole mix) have disappeared. There are no slots to instantiate plug-ins. If I open a new project they are there; the plug-in slots are only missing on this particular song. Any ideas?

Yes, it is usually named "Prelisten", and the actual audio object is usually the highest audio channel (eg, 256) depending on what you have your track preferences set to (as opposed to Logic 7, where it usually defaults to audio object 1, very inconveniently.)
The way Logic works is that every channel strip has a number, from 1 to however many audio objects you have, and related to the maximum number of tracks preference setting. The prelisten object is set by Logic to be the highest available audio object (ie channel strip) available to the system, so as not to interfere with regular work on the low numbered audio channel strips.
My prelisten channel strip, in a default L8 song, is on audio object 256.
The manual explains this, if you want more info.

Newbie questions - reordering Freeview channels an...

Hi, I've had BT Vision for two days, and so far so good! Actually, it's much better than I was expecting. However, I've got a couple of questions:
1. Is it possible to reorder the Freeview channels (e.g. so that ITV2 is next to ITV2+1)?
2. Is there a way of listing the on demand programmes that you have partially watched, or do you have to remember what they were, and track them down again to continue watching (either through the on demand listings or by searching)? Related to this, if you pause/stop a programme and switch to live TV, is there a way to switch back again?
Would really appreciate any advice from those with more experience. Many thanks,
Ed.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1. Sadly no. Must admit I'd like that too.
2. Pretty sure you can't do this either, but I don't use on demand that much so can't put hand on heart. It will remember how far you got through a programme, but I don't thing it will let you find it again easily. The second part of the question is more interesting. On demand and recordings have a channel number assigned to them. If, while playing an on demand programme or recording you change channel without first stopping the programme the box will remember the fact that something is playing and start it up again if you go back to the appropriate channel: 902 for on demand or 900 for your recordings, but if you stop it first you'll have to select it again from the appropriate menu.
So lets say you're watching Wonders of the Universe on Replay and you look at the clock and see it's time for the BBC news. Press 1 on the remote to go to BBC1. Then when the news is finished press 902 and you'll find Wonders will spring immediately back into life where you left it. Same works for PVR recordings on channel 900.

BT Vision Freeview Channels

Hello,
I am thinking of getting BT Vision mainly for Sky Sports etc but need help clarifying something first. I currently get Freeview through my Freeview TV and have most channels in my area. I have the obvious ones such as BBC 1, 2 etc and then all the others like Five, ITV 2 Sky Sports News (well for now anyway). In my TV guide I also have Sky Sports 1 & 2 but obviously can't access it as its not paid for.
However, when I started to purchase BT Vision on line it searched my property and said that I didn't have Freeview in my Area (Bournemouth) and that I would only have access to 19 channels. It also said that I wouldn't have access to another 57 channels. The thing is, included in the 57 channels it said I wouldn't have access to under BT Vision were channels that I already have access to now including BBC 1, BBC 2 and ITV. It also said I wouldn't have access to Sky Sports 1 or 2 but again these already appear in the Freeview TV Guide I have just through my TV.
My question is just how accurate/up to date is BTs search system for Freeview because the last thing I want to do is go and order it and then find I have less channels to watch then I do at the moment.
Can anyone shed any light on why it would say I will only have access to 19 channels under BT Vision when I already have access to over 40 channels just through my Freeview TV?
Thanks for any advice in advance.
Regards
Pete

Hi Pete
I can't give you an accurate answer but I can explain my own experience when I joined BT Vision, which was positive.
I live in a reasonably remote area and did not have full freeview coverage with a bog standard freeview box. I had the likes of ITV2 and E4 but no ITV4, Dave or Sky Sports News etc. The same box did receive these channels at a previous address though so I thought it was just what was available to me here.
However, as soon as BT Vision did it's initial channel search, voila, full freeview with all the TV and radio channels. Basically everything that was missing before had suddenly appeared.
So, from my experience, I'd expect you to be fine, as somehow BT Vision got more freeview channels than I previously had access to through the same aerial. Perhaps by sending them over the internet like they do with their OnDemand content, I'm not sure, but it was a positive outcome anyway.

In the latest verision of ITunes (downloaded yesterday) I can no longer see how large (in GB's) my music library or playlists are. This is a very valuable function and it seems to have disappeared. Anyone know where it is?

I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes. All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone. I am unable to locate them on my computer. HELP!!!

OK, I understand. Try this ... it's much safer. It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS. So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this.

All of my instrument loops from Garage band '09 have disappeared. What do I do?

All of the insturment loops I have been using have disappeared. They don't show up in new projects, nor are they accessible in old ones that were created using the loops. I have tried to locate the loops on the HD as others have posted but they are not there. They only loops that exist there are the FX loops which I have access to. Why has this happened and what can I do? Using an iMac if that makes a difference. Also, I suspect that a software update may have been conducted recently, so this might suggest where the problem started. Can I check if one indeed has? (I'm not the only user of the computer).

Well we need a lot more information
like what version of iPhoto and of the OS? What recently changed? do you have a backup?
If you depress and hold the opeion key and launch iPhoto do you see multiple libraries in the select library window that results? If you do check each one

Apple loops have disappeared?

I clicked on Re-Index apple loops user library, and all my loops disappeared. I went on garageband and re indexed them again there, but not all of my loops have appeared.
I've reindexed spotlight, I've re installed Logic, but they're still not there. Why? 130 pounds isn't cheap for software that doesn't work...
Oh and also some of the instruments have disappeared.
http://prntscr.com/1xwqty
I've got a **** of a lot of work to do for tomorrow (which I NEED logic for) and I can't bloody use it.
How do I get them back?

So were mine (I forgot to put in "Audio") but they aren't any longer and I'm wondering why Spotlight can't see them.
