    My humax 4000T is not tuning in.
    I use it in my motorhome & was using it in the Bristol area. I had problems with it, the date was saying 01/01/1970, so tuned it in again & the correct date came up & all was ok. When I arrived back in Shrewsbury I retuned & it came up weak signal or no signal. I tried adjusting the aerial & retuning. After a couple of time I noticed when on channel 1 it was saying BBC south which is Bristol area. It will not retune to the Wrekin, no matter how many times I retune, it’s stuck on that transmitter. Does anyone know what to do to get out of it
    Thanks in advance

    Try turning off the Smart retune option when tuning.

    Or delete all the channels then retune.

    Turning off the smart tune is the ably thing I have not tried & was going to try this morning, as I said when I retune it keeps trying to retune to the south & I am now back in the midlands. I was going to try a reset but can not find how you do it as a last resort. We keep some music concerts on record & do not want them gone if I can help it.
    Thanks very much I will try it a little later

    You won't lose any recordings if you do a reset. The procedure is Red Freeview button>Settings>System Settings>Factory Reset. This will delete the schedule of future recordings but will not delete any existing recordings. Note that the option will be greyed out if the box is recording or about to record. I would definitely try without the Smart tune option before trying the reset.

    I turned off the smart & it tuned in, then re input all the recorded things again.
    Thanks everyone for your help
