Help !!

hi guys i'm new to this, up till tuesday my humax was giving good results, however on tues it decided to retune itself, the result was i have now lost ITV 1 and as a result itv hd. I searched the freesat site and read itv had made changes.
I live in essex and as far as i can read, any changes should not effect me.
any help would be appreciated

It is worth a try, I am on ITV Central West and it works fine. Not my postcode but a local one is CV5 6AG if you want to try that

Update to the update:

After re-tuning several times, using different post codes, verging on tourettes I called freesat, explained my problem they kindly referred me to ITV, the tech department told me there was no prob with the up signal, or indeed the down one........
The guy suggested my dish may be slightly out of line,

So.......tourettes and all I went out to the dish and clumped it....


Hey presto 100% signal 90% quality, as a result of this savage beating I now receive ITV London just in time for the footy in HD

So forget software patches, re-tuning, re-wiring, if you have a problem Turn it off, turn it back on.

If that doesn’t work give it a whack lol
