Adrian James,Colchester.You're best bet if your Humax box allows is to perform a full reset procedure again,then preferably a manual scan tomorrow Wednesday 27 June 2012 after 6am onwards.The restriction on Sudbury will soon be lifted once Bluebell Hill and Dover main transmitters complete DSO2 in the early hours of the above date that i mentioned earlier above !

Paul Richards,Truro.
I would look up the section "Freeview reception has changed" !

Bernie,Bristol.
I would look up "Single frequency interference" as a likely cause.

The above page does now need updating concerning the now power increase of the commercial multiplexes SDN,ArqA and ArqB from Sudbury to 100kw apiece.
If i may add on behalf of Sudbury main transmitter viewers i hope the problems you had over the last year or so relating to the underpowered SDN,ArqA and ArqB multiplexes are hopefully now the beginning of the end as such,and once the UK goes all digital (TV wise) by Wednesday 24 October 2012 and beyond digital TV should become more improved and possibly less problematic.
But please bear in mind that even in 2030 the six (or maybe nine ?) multiplexes could be decreased to three multiplexes,once ultra high definition TV (4320p HD) if implemented by 2050 once the present 1080p HD is possibly switched off by then,we could end up with over 1000 programme channels on only just one multiplex.Most of us by then will longer be here but most of us will be.Who knows what could happen in 2050 let alone 2100 or even 2120 and beyond but here in 2012 with analogue TV UK wide almost at an end (four months or seventeen weeks to go on this date) and the first generation of high-definition here (1080p) terrestrial TV is constantly and forever changing,yet its future is still uncertain will it be still here or gone in fifty,one hundred or even one thousand years from now,we will never know that is for certain !

Correction to my above post,due to wee typing error.One of my sentences should have read."Most of us by then will no longer be here but most of us will be".Apologises all round.

Thornberry.Ipswich,IP4 2BT.If your aerial is polarised horizontally and directed at Sudbury itself,try firstly to perform a full reset of your appliance,then with the aerial unplugged perform an automatic scan the result no channels will be found.Now after this replug in your aerial and preferably do a manual scan of the multiplexes from Sudbury,it should do the trick.

P Smith.Tenbury Wells.That is because Tenbury Wells is a freeview lite relay mast,broadcasting the public service multiplexes BBCA,D3+4 and if you have the right equipment BBCB (HD) broadcasts.So unless you are able to receive the main Sutton Coldfield transmitter in your locality,the Tenbury Wells relay will not at extra cost broadcast the commercial multiplexes SDN,ArqA and ArqB,so you will most likely not be watching Yesterday,ITV2+1,ITV3,ITV4,5USA,etc !
