I use Freeview via my Panasonic blu ray receiver DMR-BWT735
Since updating the channels as suggested via an update on-screen message, after the Olympics, I appear to have 'lost' BBC Four HD?
This is the channel I watch most. It seems to have reappeared with the following message;

"BBC Four HD has moved. For most viewer you can get BBC Four back by retuning your tv or box.
As our coverage is 'Limited' (?) on Freeview HD we're sorry that BBC four will not be availaible to some viewers even after a retune.
BBC Four SD is still available on channel 9 ""

Is there anyway around this? - while C-Beebies and shopping channels appear on Freeview in HD an interesting and education channel is not!! Rather peeed off !! Any help would be most welcome.

It's now listed as channel 790 on my guide (think it used to be 106) but there is just a blank black screen and the message I posted earlier !!!
I watched the Olympics on there - very odd indeed !!

Hi Mike - yeah Bluebell Hill is my nearest transmitter . . . .
I'm a bit of a novice at all things digital tbh
But usually when I get an automated update everything is fine!
Not quite sure what this is all about and maybe I need to work how to do a manual tune??

Hey Mike I really appreciate all your help, as I said earlier a 'bit green' when it comes to all this digital stuff, however . . .
I unplugged the unit from the mains for 30 seconds, and removed the aerial . . .
Cleared the old channels by doing an update, it obviously found nothing as there was no signal to the system. Reinstalled the aerial and run the auto-tune and hey presto, all seems to be cured.
So, I'm thinking you may be right in as much as it may have been trying to link to the Crystal Palace transmitter? Who knows. It's a bloody mystery to me.
Thank you and all you other friendly folks for your comments . . . very much appreciated :-)

Help!!
I have done an auto tune as I received an onscreen message to update my channels:
However since doing this I have lost BBC 4 HD and seem to have aquired QVC HD, QVC Beauty HD, Colors HD, And BT Sports Highlights.
I'm desperate to get BBC 4 Hd back and as far as I know I'm using the Bluebell Hill transmitter
Any help from any one would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

If I'd only been less hasty and read through previous posts, I would have seen how to solve this. Sorry for the unneccessary post
