Regional TV station

[Profile closed]

I’ve recently moved from Lincoln to Suffolk, and when tuning my tv, it won’t let me select my new region and insists on selecting Yorkshire region. How do I change to select Look East region?

Earlier, you said “I’m only offered north and east regions.”

Hence our puzzlement. Did you mean ‘east’, or was it a typo for something else?

However, my larger puzzlement is why you think you should be able to get Look East. You can’t just get any region you fancy - it has to be one provided by your local transmitter.

And if that’s not happening, it’s not an EETV issue, unless, say, you can get Look East on your TV, but not on your Box Pro in Aerial Mode.

(Not that I mind helping out anyway, even if it’s not an EETV problem, but we have to know what’s possible).

But if you can’t get Look East on your TV via a directly connected aerial and a retune, then, as I said before, you need to talk to a local aerial fitter to see what can be done.

I’m in Suffolk. I had Look East on my Box Pro and now on the Apple TV. I’m surprised a reset and popping in your new Postcode hasn’t sorted it.

@Profile closed  said she was ‘tuning her TV’. While you never quite know whether this means tuning the actual TV or tuning a Box Pro attached to it, it does make it pretty clear the poster is not in IP Mode, as you possibly were on your Box Pro, and certainly are on your Apple TV.

I am taking it that @Profile closed was talking about a TV, and not a Box Pro, until and unless contradicted.

And I am fighting very shy of bringing IP Mode, with its many downsides, into the debate unless the broadcast path is completely exhausted. Not least because while Suffolk is prime Look East territory,  @Profile closed ‘s postcode may still result in a choice of regions that doesn’t include any with Look East 😢

Yeah I get that. My box pro was in aerial mode though.

‘Profile closed’.

Another drive-by poster 😢

Cracked it for themself, or left in embarrassment or frustration?

We’ll never know….
