Automatic tuning

Televisions and digital set-top boxes have tuners that allow different channel settings to be memorised and stored on preselected positions. Digital TV's and set-top boxes also contain Electronic Program Guides (EPG's) that allow you to see what programs are coming up on all the available channels.

In most cases there will be a "Menu" button on your remote control that will allow you to follow a series of prompts in order to re-scan for new channels. If you have difficulty doing this, the instructions that came with your television set or set-top box are the best guide for automatic tuning as methods vary from model to model. If you do not have the instructions you can look for them on the manufacturer's website.

Manual tuning

In some cases you may need to manually tune your television or set-top box. . The manufacturer's instructions that came with your television set are the best guide for manual tuning as methods vary from model to model.

TVS transmit Digital on a frequency of 536.625MHz and Analogue on 548.25MHz (Ch31).

Troubleshooting

A good UHF outdoor antenna will strengthen the signal which needs to be aligned towards our transmitter located at Gore Hill in Sydney. Indoor antennas can be problematic.

A good quality coaxial cable is recommended. Many reception problems are due to the poor antenna cabling. Ask your local electrical retailer if you are unsure about your cabling.

A snowy image on analogue or picture break-up on digital may indicate insufficient signal strength. It may be due to an obstacle, such as a building, between your antenna and the transmitter at Gore Hill. Try to relocate the antenna on your property. Obtaining a masthead (booster) amplifier may resolve this.

Talk to your local electrical retailer if you are unsure or go to this link for more information.
