Re-tune instructionsA personal note

First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is

Martijn van Balken and I am a Digital Media

professional, enthusiast and owner of this website.

 

UK's switchover to digital TV involves you

Between 2007 and 2012, television services in the

UK have become digital. The analogue television

signal has been switched off region by region

which required getting a digital set top box or a TV

with a built-in Freeview digital receiver to be able to receive the digital TV signal.

Retune instructionsYour Aerial and Digital Switchover

For terrestrial transmission of broadcast television you require an aerial

to receive the signal. In some instances an indoor aerial is already enough;

in more rural areas you may require an external aerial.

Usually the digital transmission is using the same aerial group as the

analogue transmission which means that you should not have to replace

your aerial when switchover takes place. A “digital aerial” or “analogue

aerial” doesn’t exist – there may be small differences between each aerial

that makes one aerial better than another.

 

Retune instructionsLondon Switchover to Digital TV

reached completion before the start of London Olympic Games in July 2012.

On that date over 12 million households saw 5 analogue channels been replaced by digital channels.

Retune instructionsRetune instructions

Retuning your Freeview or Sky digital TV recorder is very easy. It can be

done via a manual retune, which allows you to add and remove channels

yourself, or you can do a "full retune" which lets your digital TV or your

digital TV recorder do it automatically.

 

A manual retune may be needed to find any missing channels or in case you want to select other regional TV or Radio channels.

 

Here are some guidelines to help you how to do it:

 

How to retune your box

1) Press "Menu" on your remote control

 

2) Select "Installation" or "Set up"

 

3) Select "Retune" or "Manual search"

 

4) If a code is requested, try 0000 or 1234

 

5) Press "OK" or "Save" followed by "Menu" to exit

I've started this website 8 years ago with the original

aim to capture the digital switchovers all

around the world with the ambition to create an

official Wiki type resource. I soon realized that

Europe in its own right was already a hand full and

as such decided to make an initial start with the UK.

I had worked at Sky and gained my MSc in Digital TV

in the UK and as such knew the industry very well.

 

At the end of 2010 my wife and I moved to the USA

and since then have been living in Portland Oregon.

My wife works in Cancer Research and we both have

been very successful in our own field.

Due to the nature of our work we've been fortunate

to receive a work visa with the flexibility to work in

the USA, whereby Portland has become home base.

 

Since arriving in the USA, it has been a privilege to

share knowledge and experience in a different part

of the world. This website can be regarded as a

source of information to highlight the importance of

the Digital Switchover and the benefits of what

Digital TV has to offer.

 

If you have ideas, want to help or like to support this

blog about Digital TV and the Digital Switchover, use
