A national retune is taking place on September 30th 2011- this is due to the Oxford transmitter changing to digital.
This retune will affect you ALL- please follow the instructions below for a full retune - you can practice now if you like!
If you think you would prefer us to pop out and do it for you - then call me now to book an appointment, these book up real fast Only £25 for peace of mind!! 01908 526144
A full re-tune should only takes a few minutes and can be done with your remote control. Here are some guidelines for how to do it, but bear in mind every model of digital TV or box will be a little bit different.
Make sure your Freeview TV or box is on and in digital mode. Press 'menu' on your remote control.
Select the 'set up' or 'installation' option. If you see picture icons, select the tool box, satellite dish or spanner.
If you are prompted for a code, try 0000 or 1234.
Select the full re-tune option. This is sometimes called ‘first time installation’, 'factory reset', 'default settings' or 'shipping conditions'. Do not select 'channel update' or 'add channels'.
Press ‘OK’ if your equipment asks if you want to delete all your channels. Don't worry this is normal
Channels will automatically be installed. This may take a few minutes and your equipment may shut down and restart
