www.saorview.ie
2) Check you are using an aerial that is able to receive a good digital signal. In most cases,
you will need an outdoor digital hi-gain/wideband aerial. In areas that have excellent
digital coverage, you may be able to use a loft type aerial but it is highly likely that you will
also need to connect a booster between the back of the TV and the TV aerial wall socket.
Unfortunately, to receive a good enough digital signal, it is not possible to use a portable/
indoor type aerial.
If the TV does not save the channels when you power it off , it's likely the channel database
has become corrupt.
