Reminder to rescan your Freeview television channels
Posted by chappus in Uncategorized on October 7, 2009
As mentioned a few days ago, if you have not retuned your set-top-box yet, you are recommended to do so as soon as possible. Whilst your Freeview box will still receive digital terrestrial broadcasting using it’s current configuration, for it to perform at optimum viewing quality rescanning will refresh the channels your television benefits from. Good advice is to do this every month or so anyway but on this occasion the advantages certainly outweigh the couple of minutes this will take.
Retune your Freeview box

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.
