Vikki: If you're using a Panasonic TV, they have a "new service message" option in the menu (sometimes in the picture menu, but more usually in the tuning menu - can take a bit of searching to find it).
If you set this to "off" rather than "on", your TV will come on without asking for a retune every time.

I have a philips TV. Everytime I turn it on I have to retune. Should this be happening? Thanks, ben

ben rohomon: No, it should not. Have you tried doing My Freeview box has no EPG, is blank on FIVE, ITV3, ITV4, ITV2+1, has no sound or the channel line up is wrong | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice ?

Peter Smith: As long as whatever you transpose to is not allocated (C60-C69 for 4G mobile, C31-C38 for new mulitplexes) and C21+, C22+, C24, C25, C27, C28, C30 and C31 in use at Rowridge you will be fine, there is nothing in the RF signal to prevent reception if it transposed - this is what happens at relays anyway.

Hello again my tv is a soundwave and I've attempted to change settings but it's still doing the same retune after every turn on! Any more ideas? Thanks Vikki

Peter Smith: The reason for transposing on analogue is to avoid ghosting - due to the processing delays in the amplifier, the direct path from the transmitter can be shorter than the path via the cables. If field strengths are high enough, the direct path shows up as a ghost image.
Digital TV is designed to cope with delayed paths - indeed multiple paths are used deliberately in some areas, called a Single Frequency Network - and you should be fine without transposing.
Property managers should look at the appropriate section of the Digital UK website, at Property Managers - Home .
The transmissions *do* include descriptions of where to find other multiplexes belonging to the same transmitter or group, but very few boxes actually pay any attention to that information. (We wish they did, it would save all this retuning hassle!)

Vikki: Can't say I've ever heard of Soundwave - is it a "Freemans" own brand?
Many of these uncommon brands are Vestel products, but I've no idea if Soundwave is actually one of theirs.
Has the constant need to retune at switch on always been happening since new? If so, it sounds like a faulty TV.
I can't find any customer support information - does the user guide provide any contact details for guarantee purposes?

Mike Dimmick and Briantist: Thank you both for your helpful replies. I think we will transpose, then. I'll also avoid C41, C44 and C47 (Brighton Central) and C50, C55 and C61 (Ovingdean) since there may just be coverage but it still leaves plenty of channels once analogue has gone.
Thanks again.

Coleraine
Hi there,
My mother-in-law has done all the right things and updated to digital terrestrial, receiving broadcasts in Coleraine from the Limavady transmitter. Oddly, the reception if ITV 3 is very ropey... Actually, it's entity unwatchable. Looking at the signal strength on the set top box display, it seems to jump around between a full signal, and almost nothing at all.
I've looked at the digital switchover site, and it tells me that I should be able to receive itv 3 and all the others without any problems.
Her aerial has recently been upgraded, and the problem is the same on her tv in the kitchen (a tv with a built-in decoder), and her living room ( a Philps DTR220/05 set-top box).
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what I can do/say?
