The box did prompt for another retune this evening due to a ‘Network Change’ so I did do another smart retune to be on the safe side.
I am struggling to reconcile that observation with Barry’s comment in post 8 that the box won’t prompt for a retune. It sounds as though in the right circumstances it will prompt?
In most instances, the 5000T handbook uses the word “Network” to refer to the internet connection, not the DTT tuning. Could there be a misunderstanding here?

Poor post by me.
I should have said I have not seen a prompt to date…
I agree a prompt box saying ‘Network Change’ is misleading and could be better saying somthing like ‘TV Channels Have Been Changed’. I also immediately thought LAN not TV Channels to start with. I knew the LAN had not changed as it is hardwired and has a pre-allocated IP address via DHCP.
When I pressed OK to carry on it offered the retune options screen.
I still think an automatic option to smart retune in the background would be feasible, the box warns of impending changes and knows its happened after so I can’t see why not. I just feel sorry for those who are away around Oxford at the moment and their 5000T will have no, or very few, recordings after the retune when they return.
I have seen the network prompt once myself when Crystal Palace had some changes recently. I can’t remember if I accepted it there and then, but it definitely was related to a retune as my TV has a similar prompt.
I would guess it’s only when the broadcaster changes something in the network info table.
As a compromise, my TV still adds channels and marks others if it detects they’re no longer broadcasting, without doing a retune. Now that would be useful on the box. It isn’t a new TV, actually a newer lesser brand does nothing of the sort.
