This is off topic since it does not concern get_iplayer or the iPlayer,
so if you are going to be offended please stop reading.
Some of you have said you use satellite so this may be of interest.
Last night my satellite receiver displayed "Tune failed!" whenever I
tried to receive any of the BBC HD channels. The SD channels were still
working.
Today I eventually found the explanation in this article.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/aboutthebbc/entries/7a69712a-5942-4792-af89-99f73c731bbd
To save you reading it from end to end, what it says is that in order to
have one more HD channel on each transponder the forward error
correction (FEC) has been changed.
Unhelpfully it does not say what the change was, but if you compare the
settings in your receiver with what is shown on Lyngsat.com you will see
it has changed from 2/3 to 3/4.
It would have been nice to have had some warning that we were going to
have to retune our receivers. If you follow the link to the Reception
Advice page it says, "Impacted viewers with an internet-connected smart
TV and a sufficient-speed broadband line will still be able to watch all
our channels via BBC iPlayer."
