SONY LCD DIGITAL COLOUR TV MODEL KDL 46S2000 - KDL26S2030 - ALL TUNED OK THEN LOST SEVERAL CHANNELS HAVE TRIED RE-TUNING AND CHECKED TECHNICAL SET-UP BUT STILL CANNOT GET BBC 1,2, AND SEVERAL FREEVIEW CHANNELS

could be, but also the internal cabling. Or the power the tuner needs, to normal work. My advice would be, let a tech have a look and ask them what it will cost you to solve the problem, before you invite one.

you could try returning in all of your channels from the main menu the tv can do this automatically but you need to select the procedure
1. click on the home button
2. scroll sideways till you reach settings
3. in settings scroll down or up and click on digital set-up (centre button of your scroll control)
4.then scroll down to, and click on digital auto tuning (centre button of your scroll control) this will activate automatic channel tuning the tv will do the rest and will wipe out old settings and retune in all channels

did you save it in the memory channel option.

if possable retune with a known working connection ie at the house next door
this will rule out your own setup and may save you time / money in the long run

Hello
Do connection to the antena if you wants to set the TV auto tuned.

the TV's CABLE/ANTENNA input and may take sometime to complete the process. Follow
