Digital Switchover will cover a period of several weeks. When it starts you will lose all
Analogue TV channels and some Digital TV channels will be missing.
You will need to retune your TV each time this happens to recover your digital
channels.
To retune your TV
● “Auto Setup” in “DVB Tuning Menu”-DVB mode (p. 34)
Users of cable or satellite boxes should still retune the TV to continue to receive
Freeview channels via their aerial. (Your Analogue channel for viewing Cable or
Satellite services will change to a new position.)
Due to the digital reception technologies involved, quality of the digital signals may be relatively low in some ●
cases, despite good reception of analogue channels.
