Freeview box has gone bonkers - help!

After the solar flares which turned power off briefly here in W London my freeview box only gets Russia Today and Yesterday and one other, channels 10,22,85. It's a Sony VTX D800U. I have a set-top aerial which is the same minus one channel - this autotunes to 101 stations and the communal aerial gets 111. Only three work - the rest give a black screen - the signal drops out completely though the green on light is still lit. I've restored factory settings, tuned several times - nothing helps. On one occasion I did manage to do signal strength on an intermittent channel which gave signal strength and quality as poor. The three working channels show very good signal strength.

Ideas?

Problem solved - the aspect ratio had gone to 16:9 somehow. Reset it to 4:3 and all working. Well!!!
