Would love some advice please; digital freeview tv and radio reception were fine for a few weeks after October 2011 switchover, but since Jan 2012 I've not been able to get any BBC tv or radio. Box is receiving from West, although postcode checkers suggest I should be picking up Oxford. Automatic retune makes no difference, not sure what I'm doing in the manual option!

Katy: It would appear that you are probably picking up West from Mendip instead of Central from Oxford.
Is your aerial facing Oxford?
The easiest way, if your set allows, is to change the "Region" or "Network" and that is in practice selecting the transmitter.
It may well be the case that your box has stored the Oxford channels in the 800s. Consequently, manual tuning to Oxford may not move its services to the proper positions (1 being BBC One etc). Depending on the design, the box may just do nothing because as far as it's concerned, then channels are already stored.
You really need to wipe the channels from the memory before attempting a manual retune. How you achieve this will depend on how the box works. For example, on some you may be able to run the automatic tuning scan through with the aerial unplugged to "blank" its memory. On others this will result in it telling you that nothing was found during the scan and that it has retained the channel line-up it had before!
What is the make and model of the box? I may be able to find the instructions for it online and make further suggestions.
