Anyone know how to rest samsung lcd tv with freeview as freeview is locked?
I've had my TV for 2 years and not had an issue with it until last week. My mate came over and I think she was flicking through the channels and left it on a radio station and its been stuck on it ever since.
Everything else on the TV works fine apart from the freeview. DTV menu does not work either.
I have tried the info-menu-mute-on but all it does is swith on, blank screen, switch off and switches itself back on again. No service menu comes up. I have tried this command several times but no luck in accessing the service menu.
Am I doing something wrong or missing something? I do have the tv switched off on the analouge channel before i try the info-menu-mute-on.
Any help would be appreciated... last resort is to call Samsung and get an engineer to check it.
