Mount Alford to retune after 3:30pm today

 ALL TV channels will be changing frequencies in Mount Alford today.

These moves will free up broadcasting spectrum so it can be used for new services such as mobile broadband.

Once the channels have moved, viewers will need to retune their digital TV, set-top box or digital TV recorder to get them back.

Retuning is done using the remote. For most systems, viewers should press the 'menu' button on the remote, look for settings such as 'channels' or 'auto-tuning', then follow the prompts to retune. 

A video and 3-step guide to retuning is available at retune.digitalready.gov.au.

There may be some disruption to all TV services for several hours today due to work being conducted at the transmission site. Viewers should wait until after 3:30pm before retuning.

Viewers in Mount Alford who receive their reception from the Brisbane TV transmitter and retuned as part of the Brisbane retune in July 2013 may need to retune again.

There may also be outages to all TV services over the next two days. Viewers will not need to retune again - the TV services will reappear once the work at the transmission site has been completed.

Viewers can find information about how to retune and any scheduled retune outages on the website or by calling the Digital Ready Information Line.

Viewers who are having difficulty retuning their equipment should check their manufacturer's handbook or manual for instructions on how to retune, ask a friend or family member to help, visit the retune website or call the Digital Ready Information Line on  1800 20 10 13, 8am to 10pm, 7 days.
