Troubleshooting 1. Display shows ‘Service not found’ when attempting to select a service This can happen when the tuner has an ensemble stored that is no longer available. For example when the tuner is first shipped it has the BBC ensemble stored, and if it is used in another country then that ensemble will not be available. In this situation one should perform a search.
