Freesat boxes autoretune, but in rare circumstances a retune can be require. Some models of Humax do so overnight I seem to recall.

You can usually edit and delete channels, so you need to be able to rescan to bring channels back if you change your mind.
My Manhattan Freesat box has a "Freesat Retune" option under the Tuning menu.

U can actually attach an external USB hard disk to it and record to it and YES it does work, I once recorded a documentary to it and it played back with no issue.

Shame Humax don't make Freesat boxes anymore. My Manhattan is great but the USB can't be used for recording.
