I lost my TV signal which resulted in the council sending out a subcontractor 3 days ago to sort it. Now my Humax HDR won't accept a postcode (please see image) whereas before the signal loss it did. I have tried numerous postcode variations (leaving out the gap, just using the first part of the code, using a different postcode entirely) and none worked.

This resulted in numerous fruitless reboots of the Humax in the presence of the subcontractor. The subcontractor diagnosed the Humax as being faulty 
so when he left I went into the Humax Settings. Given that Freesat Tune wasn't an option now I chose Manual Tune. I used the default settings, retuned and lo and behold I had all my channels as they were previously - happy days.
This morning I discovered that, whilst the majority of the HD channels I'd favourited were active, ITV 2HD, 3HD, 4HD and ITVBeHD had apparently lost their signals overnight. I decided to once again retune the Humax which turned out to be a grave mistake.
After retuning the Humax will now only pick up a bunch of useless European channels. I suspect this may well be due to the Tuner being shown as fixed with the Satellite set to freesat 28.2E (please see image).

In a previous thread (Factory reset. Postcode not accepted.) the following is suggested regarding the postcode:
"Select the following Transponder (11428 H 27500 A) from the list of Transponders. Check that you are receiving stable levels for both Signal Strength & Signal Quality or >50%."
I did that and it resulted in no channels showing.
Can I somehow get the U.K. channels back or am I now, as I strongly suspect, screwed?
Footnote:
I have two aerial sockets - one for the TV and one for the Humax. The one for the TV (Freeview) is fine inasmuch as it provides me with the basics; BBC HD, ITV HD etc but is lacking other HD channels I used to get. Swapping the Humax / TV aerial cables simply results in the same settings as previously with the Tuner being shown as fixed and the Satellite set to freesat 28.2E. There is however one intriguing difference - it results in not one single TV or Radio channel being found whereas the other aerial cable brings up a bunch of Euro channels. Bizarre.
