Orion TV - Can't get channels -Database empty?

When I switched on my TV, there was a message saying no signal. I tried doing the Autoscan to find the channels again. Now it says 'database empty' Just left with really rubbish reception through analogue setup.

Tv is Orion TV19PL120DVDA

Have I deleted vital info by redoing autoscan?

I thought I had major problems when the CTV showed 'Database empty' and for weeks used the AVI channel to take the signal from the DVD/VHS recorder to watch TV. It was only when I read the notes on here that I discovered I could still receive analogue so went on to the digital showing the message 'database empty' and tried retuning and it restored all of the digital progammes. So simple that I had overlooked the obvious.

I had the same problem. It turned out to be the Top-Up TV card in the slot in the back. I turned the TV off at the mains. Removed the Top Up TV card. Turned on the TV and went to the auto scan menu. This time the channels were found.
