I'm using a freeview box for the first time and it says I need to re-tune it every time I reach a new location, unfortunately I don't have a user guide to explain how I do it. Does anyone know how its done, or does anyone have a user guide please ? (apparently its on page 47)

So how do you guys that use Freeview know where the local transmitter is?
Erm use an Omni-directional.
Hsimpson
Yes you have to reset freeview if you move to another transmitter. If you press the menu button and look for installation or similar (As Ken says) Hard to say what without seeing it.
Have you done a search for the Manual on the Internet? I have got many that way.
Good luck

Pointing the aerial in the right direction is easy, but using POIs or UKfree will not get right. POIs will tell you the nearest transmitter, but they are unlikely to show all relays and certainly not the privately maintained relays. UKfree is better but they make the assumption that all transmitters are omni-directional, which of course they are not.
The best way to get the direction is to use the postcode checker on

This is the only official postcode checker and uses the same information that is used when planning the transmitter network.
All I do is check the postcode for my destination before we set off. Use the postcode checker and check the box that says that you are an aerial installer. This will then give you an accurate result with signal strength and compass bearing. Only thing to remember is that the compass bearing is from true north, not magnetic.
Omnidirettional aerials such as the old spaceship shaped aerials are more likely to corrupt a digital signal than receive it.

Beat you to it Gerry - for once.
That's the one I just suggested.
You've made my evening - I'm a slow typist and usually I'm the one who comes in second.
