I have had no messages on my Humax HDR saying a retune is due, but today, I noted that two sports programmes i set to record on ITV4 showed 0 minutes. Looking at the ITV4 channel, it said that ITV4 had moved and I should retune.
All other TV channels on channel 23 are still there..it's only ITV4 that's gone.
When I looked at my LG Smart TV attached to the Humax and my Sony set top box on the kitchen TV, ITV4 had gone there too...no other channels missing.
I retuned the Sony set-top box and the LG TV and ITV4 is back, still on channel 24.
Any idea what's happened?
A real pain to retune the Humax as all the recordings that are set (20 or so) have to be re-entered.

Syd Wall: do this to the Humax and it won't kill your recordings - My Freeview box has no EPG, is blank on FIVE, ITV3, ITV4, ITV2+1, has no sound o

Thanks Brian. I meant that the re-tune always cancels all the scheduled recordings, not that it deletes what I have already recorded. Are you saying that the above process will rescan and still keep all the schedules I have set up? Great if so!

Syd Wall: The change made to ITV4 only involved the Multiplex transmitter number that the programme is broadcast on and "not" the programme guide number (EPG) used to receive it, ITV4 having previously been transmitted by the COM6 Mux whereas now its on PSB2 as used by ITV1 etc, this now enabling viewers who reside in Freeview "lite" areas to receive it, whereas they were unable to prior to the change.
As far as programmes scheduled for recording are concerned, the situation will not have changed, as when you set whatever to record, the data stored involves the Mux channel number associated with the programme, when you retune the receiver this action automatically deletes this info no matter what brand of device you happen to be using.
