+ who can say how long 80 will still show BBC News
It will show it indefinitely if that is the LCN that the receiver still has it associated with. There is only one service being broadcast, not two.
Edit: it is jolly annoying to have this discussion going on on two different threads now, I don't suppose there is any chance the mods could merge them, is there?

For readability, a merge probably isn't the best of ideas. I wouldn't be opposed to closing a few thread though.
Successfully retuned my bedroom LG (loft aerial) and all changes OK.
Trying to retune my main Sony TV (roof aerial) and it refuses to do the job properly.
Both TV aerials are pointing at the Nottingham Transmitter (sited at Kimberley, 9 miles North of Nottingham city).
I've tried both Auto and Manual tuning with the same result:-
Ch. 70 CBBC and Ch. 71 Cbeebies have not moved and there is no Ch. 120 or Ch. 121.
Channels 80, 81 etc. have not moved and there are no channel numbers in the 130 series.
I believe the affected channels are on UHF Ch. 27 on the Nottingham transmitter. Signal Strength and Quality is very good on all the UHF channels which carry programming.

Are there duplicates of CBBC etc. in the 800s with the channel moved message? My Sony TV suffers from the same problem, it seems the only way I can get the channels moved to the new LCNs is to renumber them manually.

Yup, that's what's happened - I've got a load of 800's, including several entries for the same channels.
You don't happen to know how to clear the entire channel memory so I can start over, do you? It doesn't work to retune with the aerial unplugged, unfortunately.

Isn't the process on Sony TVs all automatic and happens overnight?
That's what happened with the channel changes from the 1st September on my Sony TV. I was expecting the same to happen for today's changes.

Well I worked it out in the end, I was pressing the wrong button at the end of "Digital Auto Tuning" - I'd been pressing Return instead of the button in the middle. All sorted out now.
Did a retune and detected carriers on C42 and C45 for the first time ever, not strong enough to register any channels though. Looks like atmospherics could cause a bit of trouble for some people.
Fixed it by using the "Sledgehammer to Crack a Nut" scenario - Factory Reset. Manually tuned the appropriate UHF channels and all is now correct. Just got to set up the whole TV again!
I've re-tuned mine, however I've lost a good 20 channels. Very confused, especially as one of them is Dave (that I've lost), however I still have Dave Ja Vu!
My Humax box picks up duplicates of nearly every available channel and it's sometimes difficult to work out which is the strongest one. Anyway, it offered me the automatic option and I've gone along with it. All seems okay so far, but I had recently performed a manual tune, as some of the channels kept stuttering. As long as it keeps working I'll leave it alone.
they would not be asking in that case - would they ?

That was going to be my question. If I didn't retune (I have by the way) how long would I be able to watch the old channel numbers before they went blank.

Indefinitely. It's the same video stream - put very simply, all the retune did was tell your tuner to change the number. If you haven't retuned, the Childrens and News channels will still work fine (though you miss out on a lot of other changes, as some Entertainment channels have changed multiplex).

They won't go blank unless there is a change of Mux or some other radical change. The only possible conflict will be if and when another channel launches on the old LCN, chances are the set will place it in the 800s if you do nothing else.

That's a Youview/BT issue - not very much to do with Freeview, it's not broadcast data. Try the Youview forum?

I see. Thanks for the info.

You could try putting the model number into http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/howtoretune/retuning_instructions - but you may well come up with whatever you've already done.

LCN 74 has a different slate.
(Ok, the reason will be that CBeebies HD doesn't have universal coverage)
