Freeview Channel Listings, Freeview EPG Listings
Last updated December 6, 2011
Freeview is an operator of free digital terrestrial television in the United Kingdom, using the DVB-T and DVB-T2 standards.
The Freeview brand name, owned by DTV Services, is used to promote free digital terrestrial television services as a whole and those services operated by companies who rent capacity from Freeview Consortium shareholders.
 
Regular re-tuning
Common Freeview problems such as missing channels and incorrect channel numbers are due to the frequent multiplex changes implemented by Freeview.
Freeview viewers need to re-tune their TVs or boxes from time to time to receive the latest channel line-up. Some set top boxes will automatically advise when re-tuning is necessary and an on-screen retuning menu appears.
Delete the current EPG Channel List on your set top box or IDTV and then carry out a full channel re-installation using your Freeview boxes "automatic" or "manual" channel installation mode. Automatic tuning is often referred to as 'Auto Set Up', or ''Factory Reset' or full 'Auto Tune', depending on the make or model of the IDTV or set top box.
Manual channel tuning mode allows channel search and installation by UHF channel number and is recommended in areas where Freeview signals from more than one transmitter can be received.
For further information and advice about re-tuning, see www.tvretune.co.uk.
 
BBC Radio in Scotland
Due to a lack of bandwidth, a number of BBC radio stations will be off air in Scotland when BBC Alba is broadcasting. Radio 1 Extra, 5 Live and 6 Music will not be affected.
