How do I re-tune? Click to expand

Basic re-tuning

Basic re-tuning is quick and easy and needs to be done at each stage of switchover or on any other occasion you find you are missing channels.

Manual re-tuning

If you have missing channels after having done a basic re-tune, or the wrong regional services, you may need to do a manual re-tune to select where services appear on the channel list (EPG). You can do this using the instructions below.

Your manual re-tune instructions for today

These instructions assume you are using the Caradon Hill transmitter. If you know you get your signal from a different transmitter, click here.

Will I need a new aerial? Click to expand

Most people with a good aerial now will not need a new aerial for switchover. There is no such thing as a 'digital aerial'. You will only need an aerial if you choose to switch with Freeview, BT Vision or Top Up TV.

For more information on aerials, please click here.
