How do I retune my Freeview TV?

Updated 24 Apr 2025

To keep watching Xpanded TV on Freeview, you will need to retune after (not before!) midday on Monday 28th March 2022.

Retuning is super simple. And while the process may vary slightly depending on what TV you have, it usually follows these steps:

1. Press menu on your TV remote.

2. Select ‘set-up’, ‘installation’, ‘update’, or a similar option. If you’re asked for a password, the default code is ‘1234’ or ‘0000’.

3. Select ‘first-time installation’ (sometimes called ‘factory reset’, ‘full retune’ or ‘default settings’).

4. If asked if it's OK to delete existing channels, press ‘OK’ and your retune should start automatically. If prompted to, save the channels that are found.
