@Jb38: thank you for the advice. I've just tried doing this and the signal strength shows 'good' by putting it to ch49 but still no picture comes on. If I come out of that screen and go back in it has reverted to ch61. I think this is the only place I can do a manual tune. We have a freeview box upstairs (no recorder) which uses a plug in aerial and that is fine, but it picks up the Wales signal. Is there anything else you can suggest or do you think it could be a problem with the box?

@jb38 thanks again for all your advice. The device is a Sony RDR-HXD870. I've tried doing the easy set up which seems to be the closest to restoring to factory settings, I retuned without the aerial in to see if that cleared the memory.
I've tried this morning doing the manual retune to ch43 (yes on the kingsweston relay) but again it says good strength but the image doesn't come up! I'm concerned if I buy a replacement machine that I may have the same problems .... Thank you

@dave Lindsay. Thank you. Yes have done the retune which brings up the channels but whenever it switches off (ie after it records) it untuned it. I've tried to see if there is a way for it not to switch off after recording but haven't found one yet! Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem (Bristol, Kingsweston transmitter, RDR-HXD870) . Spent most of morning trying to sort out and was on the verge of going out and buying a new one but thought I would check out if there were any transmitter problems on this site. Glad I did.

Just retuned to French as suggested. I now have channels and the box reverts to 'guide+' not EPG but will settle for that for the time until problem resolves.

Just tried the retune recommended and success! Back in the land of EPG!
Colours a bit strong but working, not crashing and able to set.
Retune now to UK!

Free view: we've had a retune on 27/03/13 in the Bristol area. Since them whenever my freeview box turns off (either manually or after recording a programme) I lose the signal on all BBC channels, so I don't get to record or watch my programmes. I've tetuned more times than I care to mention. Ut don't know what else to do. I've a Sony hard drive recorder about 4 years old; it's been retuned out of necessary before but at the moment it needs retuning every time I want to watch or record BBC!
