I have the same old 15 Y/O digital SONY TV.
I had the TV mast & aerial replaced months ago.
It all works just fine.
The installers pointed the aerial to a "repeater" in the city, since I
live there.
I'm getting this pestiferous popup every evening telling me to upgrade
the channel list. I get rid of it with the remote.
Is there any way to just get rid of it permeably?
Who should I contact?

You don't want to just update the channel list then, presumably
what most systems call scanning for new channels?
If you don't want to do that (granted on my set top boxes it
usually messes things up so I don't do it much either, they don't
nag me though) and there's no option in the settings to disable it
looking for new channels in the background, then I guess you're
stuck with the nags.
Who should I contact?
No idea, except if there's no settings to change, then I guess
someone to sell you a different TV, or a set-top box to use
instead of its own tuner?

I do run the TV through the PVR (Panasonic).

Is the TV connected to the aerial then, or just via the PVR?

The aerial is connected to the TV via the PVR. I record almost
everything.

same as the list of channels available. If you do as it says, that will
no doubt shut it up.

I've surrender to its requests many times, but its obdurate. Perhaps
it's noticing one of the favorites lists and uses one of those. I
may have to redo these.
