This is a odd problem, all of a sudden BBC1 has seemingly untuned itself and i cant get it tuned in again. To look at the picture at present it has kind of green/red blotches visible in a kind of snowy effect on the screen. First of all i thought it must be the coax but no, ITV1, BBC2, C5 & C4 all have absolutely perfect pictures. I tried the auto retune on my TV and it went through all the channels and locked onto them... except BBC1 which it just skipped, so i tried a manual retune just on BBC1 and couldn't get any better picture than described above. It gets even stranger when BBC1 on my ITV Digital box looks perfect, as do all the rest of the channels, so that rules out both coax and the arial. TV is a Toshiba 3387DB
Have you recently plugged in a DVD player, VCR or ITVD box?
If so the output channel of one of these could be interfering with BBC1.

Nope none of those, the only thing i've done is go behind the TV to paint the wall, but then again i've checked that i didn't stand on any connections and reseated them. I cant understand how only BBC1 is affected, and only thru terrestrial and not ITVD (which comes thru the arial as well)

i have something similar with my sanyo video. all 5 'normal' channels (well maybe channel 5 isn't exactly normal) tune in fine on the tv (although reception through the rooftop aerial isn't great - wish they would come and install cable in out area) and all tune in fine on the video except for channel 4, even though the picture received for channel 4 is a lot clearer than that for bbc1 and channel 5 for example... have tried fine tuning the video but with no success. it used to work fine but then just stopped earlier this year. if i video stuff on channel 4 now the picture comes across fine but the sound keeps on cutting in and out. most annoying... programs on other channels video fine. any ideas anyone?
