Hi, I have the Samsung Smart TV - UE40MU6470. I have been trying to get freeview / channels but the tv does not pick anything up except for 4 trailer channels. I brought this aerial as recommend by the sales advisor in PC World (see pic). I have tried every type of tuning on the list and have g.

I'm rilly rilly impressed by your hipster cred with your 'bringing back' these classics and everything, but what you're not understanding is that, the reason these were called drum 'machines', was because they were programmable.
We don't really use freeview as we have Virgin Media but I decided over the weekend to retune our Samsung TV (approx 3 years old) so we have inbuilt freeview as a back up. It was ok before the switchover but now we've got 'no signal' and we can't retune as the 'digital media' option on the TV menu is greyed out, presumably because there's no signal. Help! Is there a way round this? My own stupid fault for not doing it at the changeover.
We have a basic rooftop aerial which was ok with the analogue freeview. Is it likely that we need a new aerial just to get the signal so we can tune it in? If so we probably won't bother.
We're in Essex so I'm guessing we're using the Crystal Palace transmitter. My mum's is tuned to this and she lives round the corner from us
Would appreciate any advice on this.

- #2You need to do a factory reset. I think this should work: First of all, change the 'Source' setting to TV rather than HDMI which you likely have at the moment. You can then reset using the 'Plug and play' from the main menu - you need to enter the passcode which is probably 0000 unless you have changed it. Use the 'Air' option and digital tuning only.
- #3Ah thanks Ibear. If I use the Air option and digital tuning only, does that mean it won't reset our custom picture/sound settings etc.? Presumably it won't retune Virgin Media/dvd etc. either? That would be good if it works!
- #4If you do a full Factory Reset that sets it back to the state it was in when you first took it out of the box. So it will wipe all custom settings.
Since you don't 'tune' Virgin or DVD retuning Freeview has zero impact on those.
This may be a stupid question but you do actually have the aerial connected? All too easy for it to have been pulled out and no-one noticed if you don't use it. Also the lead could be damaged or faulty hence the no signal message. Another possibility is that the cabling to the aerial has become damaged, or the aerial itself. Again easy to miss if you don't use it.
And another possibility is that you may have an amplifier hiding in the loft or up close to the aerial that has lost power. If you had a masthead amplifier then it would have had a power supply unit plugged in behind the telly. If that has died, been unplugged, gone AWOL then the amp won't be working and is now acting as a pretty effective signal blocker.
Oh and there was never any such animal as Analogue Freeview. Freeview was and always will be digital. So if you were receiving channels such as BBC3 and ITV4 in the past then you were receiving digital TV. So in theory you should still be able to. All that happened at DSO was the analogue channels were turned off and the digital channels shuffled about a bit onto the freed up frequencies. In the case of Crystal Palace (if that is where you receive from) no change of aerial should be necessary. - #5Ah thanks Ibear.

I worked through that on my 2 year old 19in IDTV Samsung and the Plug and Play option appeared to retain those settings. I think it simply clears the channel memorys. If your's is similar, you may well have normal, 'dynamic' and 'movie' presets so it may be worthwhile taking a note of these just in case.
The Virgin box likely uses an HDMI input and the DVD either HDMI or SCART, both do not need to be tuned as they direct inputs, just selected using the 'input' button on the remote, On mine this cycles through the tuner, SCART, VGA for computer connection and HDMI. - #6chrisjr: yes the aerial is connected, straight from the wall into the tv. It did work fine which is why I can't understand what's happened. Thanks for the explanation, not really very good with freeview! We've never had an amplifier, just the basic aerial.
Ibear: yes that sounds exactly like ours, with the 'movie', 'dynamic' etc. Will make a note of them before I try it. I'll report back! - #7We don't really use freeview as we have Virgin Media but I decided over the weekend to retune our Samsung TV (approx 3 years old) so we have inbuilt freeview as a back up.

Always worth using a different cable between wall and TV. It is possible to damage it in ways that are not immediately visible.chrisjr: yes the aerial is connected, straight from the wall into the tv. It did work fine which is why I can't understand what's happened. Thanks for the explanation, not really very good with freeview! We've never had an amplifier, just the basic aerial.
Equally the cable up to the aerial itself may be dodgy. Or the connections on the back of the wallplate could be iffy. So worth checking both out as much as you are able. On the back of the wallplate check the connections are still tight and that the screen braid is neatly held by the clamp. It only takes a single stray strand to break free and touch the inner conductor to degrade the signal.
Another common failure is the connection box on the aerial. Which may not be easy to get at. If the aerial is outdoors rain can get in and corrode the terminals and damage the cable.
So if you get no joy from the TV check out the cabling and aerial as much as you can to check it is still in good order.
Also if you can, try some other known working Freeview device on the aerial. eg a set top box or PVR belonging to a friend or family member that they don't mind lending you as a test. Alternatively take your telly to another aerial you know works (not as easy perhaps as taking a small box from house to house ). - #9I've sorted it and we have Freeview again! Thanks everyone. It was a combination of my stupidity and the apprentice who installed the Tivo. He'd looped an aerial lead from the dvd recorder into the tv but not plugged the main aerial lead into anywhere. I plugged that in but put it in the wrong place in the tv. Once I realised I needed to remove the lead that was in it was sorted and it's updated everything. Now just need to work out how to record from it. Think I can tackle that one!
Gwynne: thanks for the info. I looked on Samsung website this afternoon and couldn't find that. It worked perfectly!

I turned off Sky yesterday - all was working fine - just wanted to save some money.
I disconnected my Skybox and plugged the cables from the Sky dish into my Samsung TV and tried to tune in Freesat but am not getting any channels. Like I said, Sky works fine so it is not a dish / cable issue.
The Samsung TV is model UE46F7000ST. It supports Freesat and tuning in Freesat is one of the options (along with normal satellite, aerial, cable).
Again - freesat is built in (it is an option when I go to tune).
Any ideas why this is not working? Many thanks!

Check the f connectors weren't loosened when you swapped them over (screwed them firmly onto the coax). Can you access the manual tune option ? If so check you have a signal from the freesat home transponder
11425.00 H DVB-S QPSK 27500 2/3 Note the frequency may not be shown as exactly 11425.
Next check
11426.00 V DVB-S QPSK 27500 5/6 - #3Another connector issue I've seen if you are a bit ham fisted with the F-Types is bending the inner pin up into the body of the plug rather than it going into the hole in the socket on the TV.
Can an LNB be damaged if you connect and disconnect with the Sky box or TV powered up at the time? - #4I turned off Sky yesterday - all was working fine - just wanted to save some money.

You could have left the skybox connected, and the card would have switched to FSFS mode, since you cancelled your subscription - #5It will still cost X amount a year to run a sky box even in FSFS mode, not even recording, fyi.
- #6Some TV's default to the first method of FTA channels you chose so if you chose FREEVIEW it might be trying to tune into FREEVIEW Channel's .
Have you made sure you're tuning a FREESAT tuner on the TV? - #7With both satellite cables connected to the back of the TV, go to Menu, Broadcasting, Auto Tune and it should prompt you with a Postcode and then it will tune in Freesat
Failing that do a system reset - Menu, Support.. http://www.samsung.com/ie/support/skp/faq/1051919 - #8Indeed, where X is the cost of electricity, nothing more.
True, but a Sky box, unless put into full standby (only possible on HD boxes, holding standby button until light goes red instead of amber), only shuts down its video outputs when you shut it off.
The receiver stays active to receive the 'keep alive' signal for the viewing card and other updates, whereas a Freesat receiver shuts down to a very minimal power consumption (basically just the IR receiver and timer) when shut down.
There could be a quite noticeable difference in the amount of power used over 12 months. - #9True, but a Sky box, unless put into full standby (only possible on HD boxes, holding standby button until light goes red instead of amber), only shuts down its video outputs when you shut it off.

About £20.00 or so depending on tariff. - #10Sorry - been traveling for work and will check these today.
I did have a very hard time in getting the connectors on and was really surprised at that. So will look at that. I will also try the manual tuning trick to see if I can get a base signal.
The TV specifically asked for my post code and as I mentioned, said FREESAT when I did the tuning. For grins, I used a normal Ariel and tuned in some FREEVIEW channels just to see if that worked.
I know I could have left the Sky box in but did not see the point? It was one less box in the area (I also have an HTPC, router, PI, ..) so figured why not go directly to the TV as it should work. - #11OK - all sorted. My connectors must not have been seated properly. They were not bent but they must not have been screwed in as tightly as they could have been. Feel like a numpty. :-)
Thanks for all the help and happy 2017! - #12Sorry - been traveling for work and will check these today.

Makes sense to me, why use extra electricity if you can't record anything. Also the epg will have loads of channels you can't watch. Doesn't your TV allow recording to a usb drive, most modern smart TV's do ?
Failure at the postcode validation stage is what you will get if the freesat home transponder is not receivable. The postcode database needs to be downloaded from the home transponder. If the connections are OK and you can't get the Horizontally polarised home transponder but can get the Vertically polarised one with much the same frequency, the lnb skew may need tweaking.
