Residents in Terrigal and Narara may need to retune their TVs on Wednesday, September 17, with some free-to-air television channels to change frequencies on the Central Coast.
These moves are part of a national retune programme that will free up broadcasting spectrum for new services such as mobile broadband. This retune will only affect viewers receiving their TV signal from the towers located in Gosford, Bouddi and Wyong. After channels have changed, viewers will need to retune their digital TV, set-top box or digital TV recorder to find the channels that have moved. Retuning should not be done until after 3:30pm on retune day as channels won’t move until then. There may be some unavoidable temporary outages to all TV channels on September 17 to 18. These outages are necessary due to engineering work being undertaken at the transmission tower. Any outages are unlikely to last longer than a few hours.
