Basic steps on how to do a digital TV retune are below. Only basic steps can be provided as every TV is different and we wouldn't want to be held responsible for stuffing up the tuning of your existing channels! So you do so at your own risk. Please note that the best way to do a digital retune is by the **MANUAL TUNING** not by the ** AUTOMATIC TUNING** in the menu of your TV.
MANUAL DIGITAL RETUNE - THE BEST METHOD
The following info is basic information on retuning 1x Television. If you have digital recorders, a set top box or multiple pieces of digital equipment. You need to do a retune on EVERY piece of equipment to tune in the digital channels.
Oct 15, 2019 It's important to rescan for channels every few months to make sure you're getting all the available content offered through an antenna. In this video, we show you how to. We've always had the Auto-Tune to HD channels function enable on 3 TV's. For example, if you want the HD channel 505, you just have to push '5' and if a corresponding HD channel exists, in this case '505' it will auto tune to the HD channel. The other morning, we noticed Verizon had changed their. With a new Television or having just moved house and your television channels are not tuned to the area let us tune it in for you and demonstrate what is available in your area. With so many digital channels now available on Freeview television we will also provide you with a helpful laminated TV channel guide. You would then need to repeat this process for the remaining groups of channels. And that’s it. If your TV doesn’t have manual tune setting you may want to run an auto tune and connect and un connect the aerial input to the TV depending on where about the scan is. The first thing we should probably try to diagnose is whether your television sets TV Tuner is functioning. I should point out that if your television was made before 2009 it likely has an analog tuner in it. If so this is likely the reason for your television auto scan not finding channels. If indeed your TV is pre-2009, you are going to need.
Firstly you need to locate the **MENU** button on your remote. For different brands of TV this could have a different name.
- Sony - **Home** Button
- Chinese Brands - **Setup** Button
- Some Panasonic models - ** SETUP ** Button
Generally, the majority of TV remotes will say MENU or SETUP. This is the button you want to press if you are feeling confident enough to do a digital retune yourself. Once you press this button you are looking for an item in the 'MENU' that says 'Manual Tuning'. For the fact that there are literally hundreds of different TV brands out there; there is no possible way of educating you on how to find the 'Manual Tuning' Option if you cannot find it. It is however, usually found by using the Up, Down, Left or Right navigational arrows on a TV remote.
Here comes the tricky part of a manual digital retune
You MUST know what channel numbers apply to your local area. Channel 7 is not on channel 7 and channel 9 is not on channel 9 etc. All the TV channels you watch have their own individual 'MUX' number between 6 - 55 (with the new 4G government restacking).
In some areas you won't go wrong and you will be able to go through these numbers one by one until the signal strength comes up high and by pressing **OK** or ** ENTER ** button the TV should now manually tune in those associated channels. However, in other regions if you're tuning in channels you don't want from transmitters that are receiving a weak TV signal from your TV antenna you will only be tuning in channels that will pixelate or break up; resulting in a situation where you will think your TV antenna now has a problem!
Unfortunately, performing a manual digital retune is the best way to do retune your digital TV. You can usually find more information on your areas's exact digital TV channel numbers by googling 'Your local area + Transmission Towers'.
AUTO TUNING
Auto Tuning is the easiest way to perform your digital TV retune. Don't say we didn't warn you though! There is honestly an estimated 50% chance that you will have no problems at all and perhaps a 20% chance that you are going to regret trying the Auto Tuning yourself as your TV tunes in no channels or the wrong ones and you are left with less TV channels than you started with or more problems than you started with.
This is where you may call upon a professional TV tuning expert (TV technician) to sort out your problem. It is unfortunate that technology is sometimes confusing; but that is 2013 for you and that's why we have a business!

Are your digital channels pixelating or dropping out? Besides the aerials job to bring the signal in, what could be causing the problem?
- The coax cable - ribbon cable and old coax cable is not digital tv compliant
- Digital Aerials - 50/50 chance it's your aerial. If it's old then more than likely it is underpeforming in its duties.
- Tv Tuning - check your local digital channel frequencies are tuned properly - 'Auto Tuning' will not always pick up the digital channels you're after
- Non digital compliant hardware - wallplates, junction boxes, splitters, flyleads, joins, amplifiers, head ends, taps, boosters, & multiswitches e.g
- A combination of the above
What are the digital channel frequencies?
Digital channels are in some ways alot easier to tune to your new digital television than analogue. By manual tuning you can individually pick up channel by channel the ones that don't get picked up by Auto Tuning (if your digital signals are okay).
Digital channels are easily tuned by their assigned channel number known as a MUX number. You do not need to know the exact digital channel frequency unless you are an aerial installer.
If you live in a capital city you're looking for 6 MUX numbers.
- ABC - 12
- CH SEVEN - 6
- CH NINE -8
- CH TEN - 11
- SBS - is now on MUX 7,9,13,36 or 33 depending on which capital city/regional area you live in
- CH 31(local channel) - 38, 32 or 44 depending on which capital city you live in
If you live regionally you're looking for 5 Mux #'s:
Generally from MUX 34 on-wards up to 68. (There are too many different regions of Australia to mention on this page - you can find more info from Google).
