TV won't pick up some UK Freeview channels.?
I have a Panasonic Viera TX-32LZD81 TV which won't pick up some Freeview channels such as Drama (20), 5USA (21) or Horror (70). Retuning doesn't make any difference and I have a smaller non-Panasonic TV which does pick them up so I don't think it can be related to the local transmitter. Both TVs use internal aeriels. Any ideas on how to fix this (not - subscribe to a cable service!)?
I should also have said the TV was picking up these channels without any problems until a few months ago.
I should also have said the channels which don't work come up 'Invalid DVB Channel', not merely 'no signal'.

The automatic tuning thresholds on different models of TVs are different.
Some TVs will only add channels that are above a specific signal quality.
Enter your postcode here: http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/coveragechecker/manual_... and add the channels manually based on your transmitter frequencies.

You need either a more effective indoor antenna or a good outdoor antenna.
A local expert (home theatre specialist) should be able to help you.

maybe there was a free path between your house and the tower ... so they built a tall building on the path...so they blocked the line of sight .. locate the tower and check the LOS ..

if yes .. you have to use a roof antena.

The aerial is not getting a strong enough signal. Get a proper roof aerial fitted.
You can try a manual tune to those channels.
