Important information regarding the digital TV switchover
Television in the UK is going digital, bringing us all more choice and new services. Starting late
2007 and ending in 2012, television services in the UK will go completely digital, TV region by TV region.
How the switchover affects your TV equipment.
Your new TV has a digital tuner built in, which means it is ready to receive the Freeview signal by simply
connecting it into your aerial socket (you can check if you can get digital TV through your aerial now or
whether you will have to wait until the switchover at www.digitaluk.co.uk)
When the TV switchover happens in your area, there are at least two occasions when you will need to re-tune
your TV in order to continue receiving your existing TV channels and also to pick up new ones. Digital UK, the
body leading the digital switchover, will advise you when you need to retune during the switchover.
How to retune.
Retuning your TV is a very quick and simple process. We recommend that you retune
every few months to ensure you are receiving the very latest TV and radio channels
that are broadcast.
• In digital/freeview mode, on the remote control press ‘menu’ quickly followed by 8-8-8-8 (so
press the number 8 four times)
• You will now enter the ‘First time installation’ mode. (if you do not, please refer to the section
called ‘getting started’ later in this user guide)
• Simply press ‘OK’ or ‘Enter’ on the remote control and follow the on-screen instructions.
If you do not retune your TV when advised to do so by Digital UK, you may lose some or all of your channels
until you do re-tune.
If you are missing any channels, it may be that they are not available in your area, or that your TV aerial
needs upgrading.
