Important information regarding the digital TV switchover

Television in the UK is going digital, bringing us all more choice and new services. Starting late
2007 and ending in 2012, television services in the UK will go completely digital, TV region by TV region.

How the switchover affects your TV equipment.

Your new TV has a digital tuner built in, which means it is ready to receive the Freeview signal by simply
connecting it into your aerial socket (you can check if you can get digital TV through your aerial now or
whether you will have to wait until the switchover at www.digitaluk.co.uk)

When the TV switchover happens in your area, there are at least two occasions when you will need to re-tune
your TV in order to continue receiving your existing TV channels and also to pick up new ones. Digital UK, the
body leading the digital switchover, will advise you when you need to retune during the switchover.

How to retune.

Retuning your TV is a very quick and simple process. We recommend that you retune every few months to
ensure you are receiving the very latest TV and radio channels that are broadcast.

• In digital/freeview mode, on the remote control press ‘LCD menu’ quickly followed by 8-8-8-8 (so
press the number 8 four times)

• You will now enter the ‘First time installation’ mode. (if you do not, please refer to the section
called ‘getting started’ later in this user guide)

• Simply press ‘OK’ or ‘Enter’ on the remote control and your TV will retune.

If you do not retune your TV when advised to do so by Digital UK, you may lose some or all of your channels
until you do re-tune.

If you are missing any channels, it may be that they are not available in your area, or that your TV aerial
needs upgrading.

Signal Booster

Once you have connected a 'Signal booster' you will need
to retune the TV in order to receive all of the channels.

If the TV finds some, but not all, of the Digital channels, the TV is

functioning correctly but the signal being received is not strong enough.

(The signal strength needs to be above 85% - you can see the signal strength

the TV is receiving when you change channels/ programmes) you will

need to increase the signal reception in order to recieve all of the channels

available. The most economical way to do this is by purchasing

and connecting a 'signal booster' in between the TV and the TV aerial socket.

If this does not solve the problem, you will need to upgrade the TV
