Feeling slightly foolish now...
I switched on my BluRay player on Sunday to demonstrate the picture quality of the new TV and it wanted to retune. I let it do so, and it picked up the HD Mux (BBCB). So I rescanned the TV and it (just) succeeded in finding BBCB, but the picture was quite unstable (severely breaking up every few seconds) - so I removed the BluRay from the antenna feed and the signal seems a lot more stable now. Original arrangement was Antenna->PVR->BluRay->TV. Now Antenna->PVR->TV. So I guess there were just too many hops in the antenna feed - that and perhaps that the final antenna cable (Bluray->TV) was a fairly pathetic thin thing that I had lying around from an old VHS recorder. Thanks for the quick response. Much happier now :-).

After completion of digital switchover I again retuned my new Samsung UE46D7000, and lo and behold, no HD (BBCB) Mux.
I tried manually searching for it on C26 (as listed for West Linton) last night, having tried auto-retunes a couple of times already, and there appears to be no signal at all on C26. So I'm seeing transmissions on just two channels - 23 and 29 (Mux D3+4 Mux, Mux BBCA)
What gives? Have they decided not to bother (re)transmitting the HD Mux from West Linton?
Another oddity - just for the record - according to all the information available they were supposed to switch off analogue BBC2 in the period between DSO initial move and DSO final move, but they actually killed C4 for 2 weeks!
