You might need to re-tune as SBS upgrades their signal around Canberra

THE SBS digital TV signal around the country is being upgraded to provide more bandwidth for better quality pictures and sound as the final step in the move to digital-only TV.

From 15 September 2015, SBS will be undertaking work to upgrade the signal at a number of sites across Canberra and the surrounding area.

While all viewers will be able to experience better quality pictures and sound on SBS after the upgrade, some may lose their SBS signal and will need to retune their digital TV, set-top box or digital TV recorder.

While only a limited number of households are expected to be affected, should viewers find they need to retune it’s a relatively simple process. Viewers need to press “menu” on their remote and look for the “auto tune” or “channel search” option. In most cases, this should only take a few minutes. Some viewers may find it useful to consult their manual on how to retune their digital TV equipment.

Some digital TV equipment will automatically detect changes to the channels and retune itself, or it may prompt viewers to retune in order to retain access to all the free-to-air channels.

For additional information about the retune, viewers can go to the SBS website where a dedicated FAQ page has been set up – sbs.com.au.

If viewers still require further assistance they can call the SBS information line on 1800 500 727.
