In line with the developments of the digital switchover, it was announced today that you should rescan your channel listing in your Freeview set-top-box. Normally, this is possible by going into your box system settings and then scanning your channel listings. If you are unsure instructions should be found within your box user manual. You may find that the channel number of your favourite television station may have changed.

This development will allow in future, amongst other benefits, the possibility of High Definition (or HD) broadcasts using the digital terrestrial system. You will need either a High Definition television or an HD ready set to view such broadcasts though.
