Has there been a change on HD frequencies this week? TV and Freeview boxes need re-scanning for the HD Channels.

Christopher Lewis: There have been no frequency changes for any services. You should not attempt to retune if you have lost channels as you most likely have a fault of some kind and will simply be deleting the channels which are already tuned if you rescan.
