As far as I know. I always had to do a totally manual tune on the 9200 because it would pick up loads of other channels but with the 4000 I thought I would let it do an automatic out the box and it came up asking what region I was in because it had found conflicting channels (that's a plus). So I set it to my area.
I'll have a look tonight, I don't think there are other channel 5 channels on the box.

If you can identify the uhf channels used for each one of your mux, and your local transmitter it will be possible to be sure you haven't got multiple transmitters. TBH not sure how good the region option is identifying which are say from a main transmitter and which from a repeater relay which of course are still in the same region.
You won't find multiple channel 5's. but it's still possible you have some mux from a different transmitter.

The FVP-4000T has already been reported as not always saving from just 1 transmitter on the prime logical channel numbers when auto-tuning is used. Its stored channels are not always even from the same region. (If a remember where the report was I'll add a link.)
The only practical method of knowing that you are tuned to just 1 transmitter is to use manual tuning from an empty slate and target just the 1 transmitter.

In my experience this is also true of other Humax HD boxes. There is something odd about the latest version of the automatic tuning; sometimes it works perfectly and sometimes it makes a horrible mess; I haven't been able to identify a patten. As you say the only safe way is to check what has been stored after an auto tune.
