Missing Freeview Channels & Wrong Channel Numbers

Common Freeview problems such as missing channels and incorrect channel numbers are the unfortunate side effect of frequent multiplex changes implemented by the UK Freeview service. A regular freeview TV box retune is required on all Freeview equipment in order to keep the freeview channel list up to date. Some set top boxes (like Panasonic) automatically advise when re-tuning is necessary and an on-screen retuning menu appears.

To fix any viewing problems we recommend retuning your Freeview box or TV if your channel numbering doesn’t match published lists. To do this 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. Details of how to do this on your particular equipment will be in the user guide. Automatic tuning (the easiest Freeview box retuning method) is often referred to as ‘Auto Set Up’. Sometimes a ‘Factory Reset’ or full ‘Auto Tune’ is required to wipe all existing channels, depending on set top box or TV manufacturer.

The manual channel tuning mode on your IDTV or Freeview box 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.

To find out the UHF channel numbers for manual retuning of your particular transmitter, use the digital UK postcode checker and then on the results page, click on ‘Find out more’ (under ‘Reception and channels’ in the ‘Aerial’ row under ‘Method of reception’), then click on the pink ‘How do I re-tune’ menu to reveal the UHF channels needed to tune the Freeview service on your local transmitter).
