We can't help unless we know what you're working with.

Press MENU > INFORMATION > About

What does it say in there?

What picture is shown when the box boots up?

It might not be a UK image so the scanning settings won't work.

It might be your signal is too low so it won't see any channels.

Unless you give us more info, no matter how irrelevant you think it is, we can't narrow it down.

P.S. Please give it time for people to reply, we're not here as a customer support service, we're here for fun.

Thats what it says hope this helps ?

OK...you have the Digital Kaos image on which is good.

When you're in the automatic scanning menu, scroll through the list and see if your town/city is listed. If it is, select it and do a scan.

If it's not, choose the 6952 or 6887 option. 6887 is for ex-ntl areas and 6952 is for ex-tw and ex-c&w areas.
