Dominic, you can't be the only compliant because I followed the links you gave to complain too. /the swift response amounted to get lost and take it up with microsoft (its their software that is not freeview compliant). I had already logged an issue with microsoft who told me since it was a frequency change that caused the issue that the broadcaster is at fault.
This is really annoying because I can now get itv1 on HD but not on SD and HD is not compatible with our extenders! also we cannot get Five at all.
If someone out there has an answer or work around please post it. If the broadcasters or Microsoft is listening please fix the situation. Either party must be able to remedy the issue because everything worked flawlessly before the retune was required.
Here's hoping this get resolved swiftly.

The WMC issue is very real, as is the likelihood of a possible two deaths as a result of it (much like Darren I am living in fear of my other half because I can't fix this).
The seems to be lots of discussion about fixes and there not being a problem but it is as simple as this in my eyes:
a) before the retune all channels working perfectly
b) post the retune itv, channel 5 etc don't exist
The very unreasonable stance taken by the broadcaster is that WMC doesn't have a freeview logo is not helpful. Should I be questioning if I should pay for my TV licence in full because many channels are not available, i think not.
The fact that I can get these channels via mediaportal is what told me that this is a wmc issue but Microsoft don't acknowledge that there is a problem either, highlighting that if it worked before then it is the broadcasters fault.
Please can someone out there do something to resolve this before both Darren and I are snuffed out by respective other halves.

Guys,
Does anybody have a fix for this issue? I have 2 htpc's with different tv tuners in them and both exhibit the same fault. The has to be a way to fix this? Because my whole setup runs on mce and extenders. It would seem that either Microsoft or the broadcasters should be able to remedy the situation. I am sure that Microsoft will suggest that the issue lies with the broadcaster since the problem didn't exist until after the change over.
