Peter: I would read the posts above to explain how to clear the fault without you having to do much at all really, other than use the "shipping condition" menu option.
The BBC have not screwed up and you can enter the correct symbol rate into your device using the number keys.

Graeme Hartley: As the above comments, reset the device to "shipping condition" to get the channels back.

NottsUK: I thought BBC HD has always been at full HD resolution?
Normally the 3D (it's NOT 3D, it's stereoscopic) is provided as two 960x1080 frames in the 1920x1080 HD frame, but there are other modes that use 1920x540. This is called "HD Frame Compatible (level 2)".
There is a "HD Service Compatible (level 4)" which is a 2D 1280x720 frame for normal display and the 3D "right eye" encoded as three part frames, one 640x720 and the other two blocks of 640x360.
Like so:

John Robinson: Yes, the holiday was otherwise excellent.
I understand it is going to take eight weeks to heal up.
So, yes, I won't be able to venture far from the PC...

Steve: I must admit I'm not really any sort of expert of the bones of the foot.
I was in Turkey, so I can't see there being any opportunity to sue anyone.
It actually happened in the first few minutes of the holiday and I walked around on it for nearly two weeks thinking it was a "sprained ankle" before it suddenly was so painful I had to go to the hospital.
Thankfully it was my travel insurance that picked up the bill for the unusable seats. And that was on a half-empty plain. I had the same three seats on the way out for no charge.

Steve: I understand that "home reception" is now to to mean using a "portable set", rather than the old way of using a roof mounted aerial.
