How to tune in an Akura TV?

How do I re-tune my digital TV having lost a couple of favourite channels?

• I moved house, plugged in my digital tv, and only got BBC and the shopping channels and a long list of, for instance, French station (can't remember name) - not tuned, Spanish station - not tuned. So I called the TV man who did something that took 2 seconds and charged me £30. But then I found my DVD/video recorder wouldn't record, only play back. So I phoned him and he said that's because your tv is digital but your recorder (that I bought with the TV last year) is not... so I'd need a digibox. Bought the digibox, connected the digital TV and non-digital recorder, and I've lost several of the channels including my favourites, Film 4 and Dave. Actually I could initially get them and watch for 5 - 10 mins before they faded out and displayed the message "not tuned." ! Short of paying the man another £30 to come back... does anyone know how I can get Film 4 and Dave (and Dave Ja Vu) back? When I first plugged in, the digibox did an automatic tune; I had no input. I cannot find anything on 'Menu'' or 'Tools' or 'settings' or anywhere re tuning. And even if I disconnect the digibox and restore it to how it was, i.e. put the aerial back directly into the TV, I still now cannot get those missing channels. Bother! and Help please?

• Answer:

  hi pretzel. try this. unplug the aerial from your digibox and do a rescan/retune. when thats finnished, plug aerial back in and repeat rescan/retune, see if your missing channels are back. all the best. the only other thing i can think of at the mo is can you find a reset back to factory settings for the digibox?
