Tuning Freeview TV channels – TreceBits

                     

Night of updates which we come. This Sunday, in addition to changing the time (remember that at 3 ever be the 2am) will also have to retune TV channels if we continue to see as now all channels of DTT (Digital Terrestrial Television)

Tonight, between 2 and 6 AM, the TV channels broadcasting on Freeview will have to rearrange their frequencies. But do not worry too much because the change will not be performed abruptly and does not mean that tomorrow when we wake up we go not to the TV and all channels are visible in black.

The frequency change occurs to make way for the new 4G mobile services

From tomorrow until December 31, the television TDT will broadcast on both frequencies , so we have time to make the change. Anyway, the sooner we do best to avoid resting on our laurels and have last minute rush.

Above all it is better to do it sooner because those living in neighboring blocks will have to hire a antenista to adapt collective community antenna for change. Obviously it is a task that is payable by the president of the Community or manager who has hired, but should do so as soon as possible.

What should be clear is that all users have to retune channels your TV, and have to adapt a community antenna or live in an apartment building. Everyone will have to do it and may do so from 6 am tomorrow.

The process also depends retune the TV . In many of them, it is done automatically, when looking at the menu “or a similar tune channels” option. The user only has to re-arrange them as you want to then find it easier to access them.

This would be enough for those who live in houses or blocks with less than three houses with its own antenna however, in buildings with a programmable control unit, a antenista intervention necessary. There are an estimated 13 million buildings in Spain who have this need.

This has a cost. The community will have to pay around 20 euros for each home to which it will perform the retune. That is, a block of 20 homes end up paying the antenista 400 euros.

The Government has set up a system of grants and subsidies that allow the community to recover between 100 and 550 euros (depending on the amount you have spent). They can be ordered through the website where www.televisiondigital.es also report any concerns about the process of retuning.
