Since the Olympics, our Sony svr-hdt500 has "lost" all bbc and has be retuned every morning. I've tried factory reset and retune; this resolves the problem until the following morning, when the problem recurs!

We live in cardiff
Use arial
Welsh channels selected as 1
It seems the Sony box is trying to find the English NBC channels instead of the welsh (if this makes sense)

Any ideas for a solution gratefully received.... Why did we go again??

Thanks for your comprehensive answer Dave. Ihaving just completed a factory reset and manual retune, bbc1 is now reported as follows:

Bbc1
41
Strength 96%lookong
100%

Channel is being received well & fully able to view. Hopefully we've cracked it.... Will confirm tomorrow morning if we don't need to retune.
Thanks again
Bryan

Thanks to Dave Lyndsay; my problem is fully solved. Turning off "automatic service " (which is "on" by default) was a critical factor that I had previously missed. A diagnostic symptom here seems to be that I had previously had to retune *every* morning to recover missing , but the recovered channels were then fine until the following morning.
Thanks again
Bryan
