I have the same problem as Peter naylorb, since the re-tune all BBC and all HD channels block out and fail completely. The commercial HD channels are a little more reliable though. I've tried manual and auto re-tunes on both my HD Recorder and my NEW TV (Samsung), my previous TV is also suffering the same problems. Since it happened after the re-tune I can't say it's anything around the home or the equipment / aerial. Check transmitter status and all I get is denial and told to check my setup. If I'm getting the commercial channels ok, then that suggests what?

Manual tuning shows C45 (commercial) Signal Quality at 100% consitently. C39 (BBC) bouncing between 28% and 60% signal quality. C42 (HD) between 20% and 100% blipping every few seconds.

Now that is interesting, after another manual re-tune all HD channels are now good. Still getting blocking on BBC SD channels though (C39) but they are more stable than previously. Doesn't alter the fact that this all kicked off with the last re-tune.

Hmm... getting no analogue around here at all, never mind 39 Briantist. Don't fancy climbing up there to replace the aerial as the majority of channels work, it's just the stuff on 39 that is "iffy" and last time I was up on the roof I came back white ;)
I've invested in Netflix now and will just have to make do with what I get on terrestrial even though I pay full license fee for reduced service. But thanks to this page I have improved things.
