Thank you for trying to help. There's nothing connected to the tv now  but I did put the original freesat box back on. But can't get anything on the DTV button just a dark screen it won't bring up the menu.     The TV button does bring up the tuning menu.    DVD works  apart from the discs judder which I believe it needs a clean but how I don't know. It's done it for a while now 

Is there a reset on the tv I can't find anything in the b and o  manual

I guess, you have a BV7-40 MKII? Red display?

Maybe you have selected "Gefen" (?) it`s an HDMI expander for BV7-40 to get four HDMI conections to DVI input.

I`d try to get to the connections menu via DVD source (this works...?)

press DVD - MENU - MENU - Options - Connections - deselect Gefen expander.

I`m not sure about the sequence (it`s quite some time since I had BV7-40 MKII..., but it might help, if you tell us what you`ve done and what happens.
