I changed my postcode to Northern Ireland over a month ago, and I've been getting BBC1 NI, and BBC2 NI, and for 103 I got UTV (the NI ITV). It's been working for over a month.
I switch on this evening and for BBC1 I see BBC1 London, for BBC2 I see BBC England, and for ITV (actually I can't remember which regional ITV it was, but I'm guessing ITV London).
Looking in my planned recordings, all the ones for BBC1/2/UTV were gone.
I decided to look in the settings and I saw that my NI postcode was still there. An Off/On cycle via the remote made no difference, so I took out the power cable for a few seconds and fired up again. Still no difference. Still all set to London despite my NI postcode being there in the settings.
So after a few minutes of this, I switched on my PC to write this post, looked over at a setting and saw that it had gone back to having the NI channels in the right slots.
Being eternally optimistic I decided to look in the planned recordings to see if they'd come back too, but no, they're lost. I'll have to set them all again.
This is the second time this has happened, first time was a few weeks ago and I wondered if I'd done something myself and not remembered, so I didn't post about it that time. Now I'm 100% sure I didn't do anything though.
Any ideas? I can't trust it anymore to not wipe out my recordings, so if I ever want to set a recording for 1/2/3, I'm going to use the channel numbers 957 (BBC1NI), 969 (BBC2NI), and 977 (some ITV channel, it doesn't say which it is). Then the box can have it's little freakout moment and I hope to not lose my planned recordings.
