Freeview changes may affect viewers from today

Wed, 19 Aug 2020

Freeview viewers on the Island may need to retune their TV equipment from today to continue watching programmes.

Freeview channels are moving to new airwaves to allow for the future development of new mobile broadband.

Changes were made overnight at the Douglas transmitter group and any viewers receiving their TV signal from the main Douglas transmitter who find they are missing channels can retune.

Services from the Glenmaye local relay may be subject to disruption through today.

Around 26,000 homes are served by the affected transmitters.
