Most Humax products appear to behave in this unfortunate way. When any updates show up on my 2000T I now take a picture using my Tablet of the recording schedule. It certainly makes life much easier when re-programming it later.
However, it doesn't have to be this way. All our Panasonic kit gives you the option of just updating the changes rather than the whole thing over again. This method means the schedule remains in place with the EPG simply updated with any changes - real 21st century stuff eh? Memo to Humax.
While the 'Update Channel List' feature on the Panasonics does do as you say, unfortunately it checks all receivable multiplexes, not just the ones you may have manually tuned. You then have the option of sorting by region or signal strength but it's not clear what happens to the rejected channels/multiplexes, they don't appear in the 800s. I have yet to see if AR/SL is affected by this initial multiple transmitter reception.
Well have I been using this system with the Pannies for at least the last decade and not had one hint of a problem to date. I simply select the all GB best signal quality option. I always let the machine auto tune in any event and again this all works and selects the region in which I live.
BTW I live in an area where I could if I so wished pick up no less than 3 different regions quite comfortably. In fact I switched off the new channel update message because when the regions were going digital I would get messages almost every day from the different regions.
