Just switched on and got a pop-up telling me that a channel re-tune was necessary to make space for new channels. In the instructions, it says to select the MENU button on my remote. I can't see that button on my RM-L08. Any ideas folks? R-

Re-tune for new channels

I presume you'd press the big red 'F', the Freeview button that you would usually press to get to the menu.

Tried that - but cannot get to anything saying UPDATE channels. R-

Home, Settings, Channel Settings, Automatic Channel Search.

Thank you Barry, that makes more sense than the route the pop-up screen tells you to take. Confused now by this screen. R-

I've just called Humax customer support who asked me to reboot the box and perform another channel search. This time there were no reports of MULTIPLE REGIONS being found. Looks like we're good to go. R-

As usual I had to manually input the channels as Automatic gave me duplicates and channels in the 800 range.
I couldn't fine anywhere to delete all the channels (as I used to on my 9300T) to start with a clean slate, and had to reset the box which involved going through info screens and re-inputting my router code.
There must be an easier way, what am I missing?
Manual Search also meant that, as expected, I lost my schedule, and whilst I was using the Guide to re-input these programmes the Humax decided to do a random re-boot. I do hope that this was a one-off and this isn't going to start again

I wonder if the weather, which is currently appalling here in the SW, has had an effect? I am surprised that the second search behaved differently from the first and that is all I can think of. Is that possible? As you might tell I am not remotely techie.
I don't have any duplicates and a few in the 800 range and I seem to be on the correct BBC regional news channel.
So far, so good. R-

There must be an easier way, what am I missing?Factory reset would be the quickest way, and then stop the auto search for channels...or
Home, Settings, Channel Settings, Edit Channel List then:
+ Highlight Select all, OK
+ Delete, OK, and confirmYou have to do the same again to delete all radio channels.
