Syd Wall: The answer must be that "something" has changed. Assuming that this is not with your box, then it must be a change, perhaps a slight one, in the signals (perhaps strength) from Sutton Coldfield and/or Lark Stone which means that the "decision" as to which it goes with for the "main" channels is different.
How might this be proven? Where might it get you?
Automatic tuning functions are not infallible when fed with duplicate signals from more than one transmitter. This was the case in the days of analogue and is still true with digital.

Thanks DaveI'm used to the 'odd' numbers now, so with more re-tuning coming up (new HD channels from Sutton but not Larkstoke), I'll wait until the next retune reminders come up on screen. I have to reset all my pre-set recording options so the less often I do it, the better. I could get the local aerial guy round to make measurements to see what the smallchanges might be, but not really worth the cost.
Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions
