Hi I can find a definitive answer. Does the 5000t automatically retune channel changes on freeview and if so when?

Hi jbsco. the answer to your question is no. In fact I'm not aware of any devise on Freeview that does.
You may get a message to say a channel has moved from the transmitter.That's the time to do a smart retune on the 5000 .
This is done via the Freeview Play button, then via the settings tab.
By doing a smart retune, only the channels that's changed will be affected.
All the rest of your schedules should be ok.
I hope this helps.

I have a PHILIPS TV which does an auto update on channel changes!

But that doesn't exactly help the 5000T user does it.

It's a bit ironic, those of us with HDR-FOX-T2's have to rely on the custom firmware to suppress auto channel change updates. If you have auto update on it dumps your recording schedule.

That's correct Trev.
jbsco, the answer is as I stated earlier.
The answer is still a no, you can do a smart retune. when ever it suites .
Good Luck.| Thu 17 May 2018 16:09:41 #6 | -
So when changes happen in my area, which option do I use - which won’t delete the schedule or recordings. Will the box tell me there are changes?

Although not available any more the Tvonics DTR-HD500 PVR could be set to update channels automatically, I have one of these and it works very well and it also retains the schedule.It can be done if the manufacturer want to have this feature. Please Humax take a leaf out of Tvonics book.
