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.

Please note, further re-tuning will be required (including at each stage of the digital switchover) and the channel numbers (frequencies) could change. Look at the full table below for further re-tune dates.
