Freeview retune in Sheffield today

Residents of Sheffield who are currently using Freeview for their digital TV service, may be waking up and switching on the television only to find that the BBC has gone!

The channels have been moved along to make room for the high definition channels that the service is bringing on board, but before viewers panic and jam up the Freeview customer service helpline, they may consider retuning their equipment.

The change will take place today at 0600 hrs.

This will mean that set-top-boxes and integrated tuners within televisions will need to be retuned if the viewer wants to see the BBC once more.

Retuning is relatively easy, as it can all be done from the remote control.

The user simply has to get the menu up on the screen and follow the instructions.
