The only thing that would make sense to me is a defective LNB. When we know the region we can check out the channel polarisations of the messing channels to confirm or rule this out.
I did however notice that Graham did not get a reply to what was the message at the foot of the signal strength screen which would have confirmed that both tuners are being used.

I'll check with regard to the tuners message when I get back home this evening. The region is North West England though - specifically Chester, CH2 postcode.
Many thanks,

Would it be worth me noting all the missing channels also?
P.S. What's a LNB? I keep seeing the acronym but have no idea what it stands for.
LNB - Low Noise Block

I have just reset a HDR 1000S using postcode CH2 and all channels you are having difficulty with are present and viewable.

Yes please.
Or check them against this list:

And let us know are the missing ones all marked with a 'V' in the first column.

I'll give this a go this evening and cross my fingers. I guess there's an easily found option to reset/re-tune the box in settings somewhere, is there?
Thanks

Thanks. I'll try Barry's fix first of all and, if this doesn't work, return with a list of non-working channels.
Many thanks

How it works.

It will explain why the interest in transponder polarisation.
TBH I have never come across a situation where the box reports a good signal strength and quality and the specific channel isn't viewable.
Do you still have your Sky box ?
Okay, folks; I assume one of you good people on the Humax end of things reset something or pressed a button or something because - after a couple of months of selective amnesia - I turned on the box with a view to resetting it with a CH2 postcode and all channels are present and correct. At least all the ones of the very many I've tried so far are. Whoever did whatever they did - thank you. One much happier punter.
