Thanks Mike, I think I may try a rescan to see what happens. I have noticed
that the analogue tv signal seems to be looking worse (could just be me
imagining it) so I'm now wondering if there is something wrong with our
aerial outside. I'll try the rescan first. If I backup the DB, it can't
hurt.

Thanks,
Andrew
