OK, I get it. So I should switch it off usuing the on/off button on the remote? And how long should I leave before switching off at mains, assuming there is no Humax update scheduled on the site Barry linked to?

Switch it OFF with the on/off button on the remote or front panel, four dashes (----) will appear on the left of the front panel display. The display will stay like this for about twenty seconds then the dashes will be replaced by the clock on the right of the display and you will hear the hard disk (or fan) shut down. You can then switch OFF at the mains.
Be aware though that these machines are designed to be left in STANDBY. Many people complain about losing series-links, the only time my 9200 has lost series-links is when it is switched OFF at the mains when I go away on holiday.

OK. Quite honestly I'm not sure there's enough quality stuff on telly anymore to warrant a tenner a year
Anyway, today I switch on, and we are exactly back at square one once more. The machine powers up, then I get the four dashes as you describe, and then "BBC TWO" flashes up on the display, and then just that tiny icon. And nothing at all. Kind of starting to test my patience
Could this be because I may have inadvertently switched off in the same way I did before?

Well you can still switch OFF at the mains and save the tenner a year, just shut down correctly before doing so.
It's by no means certain that you have caused the problem by directly switching OFF at the mains, get the 9200 going again with Barry's software file then always shut down correctly and see what happens.

OK. Repeated procedure, and it is now working, but reception is very poor - constantly breaking up to the point of being unwatchable. It was fine in this respect before these issues began. Aerial is new, and I have deleted quite a lot of the channels that the Humax found.

Did that include channels numbered above 800? If so you definitely need to manually tune.
