ITV/Channel 4 Region

Hi all.
About a month and a half ago we moved to Salford from Bolton (about 10 or so miles distance), and since then i've noticed something strange about the ITV and Channel 4 regions.
In our living room we have a Bush 26inch LCD HD Ready TV with a digital and analogue tuner, and attached to that is a Humax box for recording, with dual digital tuner built into that.
Now this evening I went to re-tune the TV and box as Dave Ja Vu wouldn't tune in properly. When I retuned the Humax box everything was fine and we pick up Channel 4 and ITV1 Granada (North West). When I retuned the digital on the TV, it placed ITV Wales on channel 3, S4/C on channel 4, Channel 4 on channel 18 and ITV1 Granada on channel 998!
Now I could understand the tuners picking up TV signals from Wales, as the distance is only 60 miles, but I am wondering how my TV manages to place S4/C and ITV Wales in a stronger place than Channel 4 and ITV1 Granada!!
I will re-try tuning tomorrow, as often the weather can affect the signal, and when this has happened in the past I have just re-tuned and everything went back to normal, but didn't work after 3 re-tunes this evening! You also can't delete or re-arrange channels on the TV.
Strange one really - anyone had similar issues? Did you find a fix?
Thanks
