Freeview TV Channels

Can anyone offer any advice?

All my TV channels on Freeview have changed to different numbers, eg. Channel One, which was BBC1 is now Sky News. BBC is something like number 57. Additionally, the HD channels, which were 101, 102, 103, etc are also now something else, so the HD viewing has gone.

I‘ve retuned the TV, but it just comes back the same.

Is there anything I can do, please?

Check if there are any faults in your area on the Freeview website / Twitter?

Retune is usually the normal solution.

Thanks, yes I’ve checked. It’s been several days now. I’ve retuned half a dozen times, but it stays the same!!!

Ask a neighbour if they have the same issue.

That’s a good point. Thanks.

There's similar issues in threads on the A/V forums, some suggestions say try unplugging the aerial then do a retune to clear all settings, then reconnect and tune again. Worth a try?

Thanks, just tried that. Still the same though. Looks like I’ll just have to get used to it!
