At switchover the frequencies used change, so you have to do a "first time installation" on each date.

glb37: You *MUST* first clear the channel list of all channels, and then rescan. If you do an "add channels" this will put the channels in the wrong place and leave you with blank channels.

lizzie: You need to connect your Freeview box to a rooftop aerial to receive the services, and the aerial needs to point to a transmitter with the digital services.
