Free sat channels

As of yesterday, my free sat box does not see some channels (Not sure exactly how many, not checked EVERY channel yet) It says what the channel should be i.e. ITV4, it even comes up with a signal strength bar, but no sound or picture. I know freeview do similar and you have to update it, but free sat doesn't ?

QUESTION: Have any of you who have free sat had channels move/go missing recently?

Nope, but then I'm on freeview, freeview are losing some channels as well summat to do with 5G?? Have you re-tuned your freesat box/TV ???

No mention of ITV4
BUT maybe worth , as other have said, a retune

Thanks all.

Just saying I have a free sat box that I can move the channels to where I want them. I.e. BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4, Channel 5, so if a channel is deleted or transponder frequency changed I loose it, if it changes its name, it stays where it is. After 3 hours of searching and moving they are back where they were except forces TV as that no longer exists, so for me I can't just "re-scan all channels" I guess that's the price to pay for channels being in order.
