As part of a rolling programme in the regions that experienced the early digital switchovers, some viewers on the Cornwall, South Devon and parts of Dorset will need to retune on Wednesday. However, viewers of some relays must not retune.

^{Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV 4th June 2013 at 05:53}

The original plan for digital-only television services had created a set of cleared (unused, for resale as 4G) frequencies in the range C31 to C40, and a smaller one in the C63-C68 range. However, to align the frequencies with the rest of Europe and to provide the mobile internet companies with more desirable frequencies the allocations were changed - see Digital Dividend - changes to the 800MHz band.

In the regions that switched-over after the decision was taken, the new frequency plan has been used. In the regions that switched before, viewers will have to perform one more retune.

This week, on Wednesday 5th June 2013, viewers of the Beacon Hill, Caradon Hill and Redruth transmitter groups will see another minor Freeview change.

Notes about retuning

If you are not on the list, you should your box from around 6am.

When you now rescan, you MUST do a "first time installation" or "factory reset" scan (sometimes called "shipping state"), not a simple "add channels". Do the procedure you did on "national retune day", September 30th 2009, see Freeview Retune - list of manuals.

If you can't recall the procedure or find the manual, please see generic clear and rescan procedure.

Some people may find problems with the newly allocated frequencies - if so, please see Single frequency interference.

Cable and satellite

(Virgin Media) and (, , ) viewers are not affected by the changes. Remember, however, that you may be using TV to watch on a second or third set and it might need a Freeview box.

Next to change

The next changes are on 24th July 2013

Swinster: PSB1 C62- to C50

M.Gibson: The symptoms would seem to suggest some local . In cases where the start and end times are always the same then a device that is electronically timed may be the cause.

If you are interested in resolving the issue then it might be worthwhile making enquiries with neighbours, to see if their is affected in the same or similar manner. I emphasise that this probably won't be affecting those who view TV via (/).

Payment of the permits television receivers to be used in the applicable property. It does not give any guarantees of reception, nor does it provide for assistance resolving reception issues.

On this site we look to offer to work to resolve issues. Speak to your neighbours and see what they say. You can always come back here with your findings and we may be able to make some suggestions as to how to proceed.

I live in Plymouth and receive my signals from as it gives better than the local repeater for my location. I have recently found that my reception of the YESTERDAY channel has become so distorted that I can't watch it. I never used to have this problem, and the other freebies that I watch are fine. I have a roofspace with lots of elements, but no . Suggestions or explanations please.
