When re-tuning the Humax equipment it is recommended that a Default Setting Installation is completed rather than an Automatic Search.

Warning: A Default Setting Installation restores the Humax factory default settings. Any previous user configured data will be removed and have to be entered again. This includes Favourites, Subtitles and Screen Ratio Settings. The PIN will also return to 0000.

To perform a Default Setting Installation please read the user manual or follow the instructions below:

Press the MENU button.
Select Installation using the up/down arrow buttons and press the OK button.
Enter PIN using the NUMERICAL (0-9) buttons.
Select Default Setting using the arrow buttons and press the OK button.
Select Yes and press the OK button to restore all settings to Factory Default.
Confirm again to start loading default settings. Enter PIN using the NUMERICAL (0-9) button to perform restoring.
When completing the Default Setting Installation, press the OK button to automatically run the Installation Wizard.

It's a known issue with some Humax HDRs...Try

Switching off the power using the switch at the rear. Wait till the red led goes out, Power back on again and press the front boot switch. It will start to boot and shut down again. Press boot a second time hopefully the retune message won't be there.

If that doesn't work try a factory reset - It wont delete your recordings by the way, but it will delete any recording reservations/series links you have set
