After retune lost BBC on Humax PVR 9200T. Did a manual retune on channel 53. Found BBC, but now on Channel 800. Long term solution appears to be a new box.

Thanks folk for the advice. By going to the factory defaults, manually tuning C53, auto tune the rest, it is almost back to the pre-switchover. BBC4 and couple of others still misplaced in the 800 channels. All other devices in the house re-tuned OK. Since Freeview appears to have a re-tune a number of times a year I think I would be better off with cable. It is a case you get what you pay for.

I have a Humax PVR 9200T Freeview box. This is an absolute pain at every re-tune. The first switchover lost BBC channels, at this one the ITV channels. The reset with the aerial removed doesn't help, but out of darkness came light. I did the reset with aerial removed bit, but did not do a re-tune, instead went to "Default Settings" and return to manufactures default. Replaced aerial and then a "Manual Re-tune" on C60, then an "Automatic Re-tune". All now back to pre-switchover. Appears the software version of the box has returned to an earlier version but I understand a new version will be on the airwaves next week. Maybe this is what I was being told to do all along but didn't grasp it.
