The receivable channels remain unchanged. It may be necessary to carry out a channel scan. Many modern TV models do this automatically. If this is not the case with your TV, please carry out a new channel scan according to your TV’s instructions. If you are asked for a network ID, frequency, modulation or symbol rate during the new channel scan, you can generate this data here.
In the cantons of Lucerne, Obwalden, Nidwalden, Uri and Valais, the channel scan parameters have changed for many customers. Please therefore check whether your parameters are still valid (in most cases, however, reception will still work with the previous parameters for the time being)
