These moves are part of a national retune program that will free up broadcasting spectrum for new services such as mobile broadband.
After the channels have changed, viewers will need to retune their digital TV, set-top box or digital TV recorder to find the channels that have moved.
Retuning is done using the remote. For most systems press the ‘menu’ button on the remote. Look for settings such as ‘channels’ or ‘auto-tuning’ and follow the prompts to retune.
As the retune simply moves free-to-air TV channels to a new location on the broadcast spectrum, it is unlikely to change TV reception or coverage.
For more information about the retune, visit www.digitalready.gov.au/retune or call the Digital Ready Information Line on 1800 201 013, 8am to 10pm seven days.
