scanner and lost tv function

Post by fenj66 » Mon Nov 22, 2010 9:03 am

hi all,
i have recently used a scanner to successfully enable the aux heater function on my car.
unfortunately, in the process i appear to have lost my television channels! please help!!
on the television menu i just have AV as the sole program option. i have tried rescanning to update the programs but nothing.
does anybody have any ideas as to what i could have done to lose the tuner?
the scanning software is very heavy on acronyms! does anybody know what the tv tuner would be in bmw speak?
many thanks,

Check the settings for country just in case they have changed...

You have AV so you have the tuner still.

thankfully, all is well now, got in the car today, started up and the tv has all the channels again! very strange, but thankfully back to normal.
cheers..
