Went to see a suspected aerial problem today, the above TV would not tune the BBC multiplex on channel 50 from Hannington.
Tested on the meter, good signal at 47db all excellent quality readings. The owner phoned Panasonic who are sending out a card to plug into the back (not sure which type), but it will make up for the lack of updates to the set, which had auto updates enabled, but the software for some reason hadn't updated.
The problem is caused by the old software having a preset limit on the number of channels which can be stored, an update will change the parameter and allow for a full channel scan.
So for anyone else with a similar problem, it may well be your TV's software.
