Burns .: Try retuning with the aerial disconnected (make a note of any planned recordings first) which should result in all channels being deleted, the reconnect the aerial and retuning again should result in all of your channels reappearing on the correct numbers.

Dale: Rather than blaming technology, try looking for a fault with your aerial system (check for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV etc).

Carol Knights: Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV? Which transmitter are you using? Please provide a full postcode so that we can see where you are in relation to the transmitter and your predicted coverage etc.

Davud:

Sky News is on the ArqA multiplex see Channel listings | Freeview
Without a full postcode we can't tell what the predicted reception is likely to be at your mother's postcode and which transmitter(s) she might be receiving (several retuned on the 5th).

In the meantime, she could try unplugging the aerial and doing an automatic retune which should clear all previous tuning as no channels will be found. Then plug the aerial back and repeat the automatic retune and hopefully all channels will be restored.

If there are still problems, post back with further detail.
