Had a few problems with my Humax 9200T again this morning. Lots of channels missing, so I did a complete retune. However, some channels were still very blotchy, or saying "no signal" (ITV, C4, C5, ITV2). I then followed the manual instructions that Mike Dimmick kindly provided me with earlier on this thread to manually tune, but only found service on Ch60 - nothing on 60, 55, 56, 66 or 62.
I auto-tuned again, and checked out the problematic channels... they were tuned to Ch25 Gloucestershire with signal strength and quality of only 10%. Some of the other channels that were working correctly were tuned to Ch 59, Ch50 and C55.
I am probably being really stupid here, assume I need to tune to a different manual set of Ch's now that the final stage of the swap over has occured... but why have I lost a batch of channels all together?
Kind Regards
Craig Jones

Sorry, my previous message should have read "only found service on Ch60 - nothing on 65, 56, 66 and 62."

Craig Jones: You need to enter C57 for Mux D3+4. The new line up is C50, C55, C57+, C59-, C60- and for HD it is C53.

Just bought a I CAN HD freeview box, and whatever I do I cannot get it to store channel numbers correctly. BBC channels are on the 800's, and resetting, doing manual search etc doesn't seem to help. any ideas?
Thanks

@ paul
The 800 numbers signify your box is receiving channels from two transmitters I had the same problem before the switchover
Retune but leave the aerial out until the tuner gets to ch47 then insert aerial so it only receives channels from the B Hill transmitter which starts at ch 50
Let me know if this works
