Time to head round the back of your box. We’ll walk you through what to do.

 First things first, we need to check how your box is connected to your router. Pick your connection: 

Direct Ethernet cable

• Check the Ethernet cable is securely connected to the Ethernet port. To be safe, disconnect and reconnect it.
• Follow the cable from your box to the back of your router and make sure it's securely connected to one of your LAN ports.

Powerline adapters

• Check the Ethernet cable is securely connected to the Ethernet port. To be safe, disconnect and reconnect it.
• There should be two powerline adapters plugged in to your mains. One by your YouView box and one by your router. Check both adapters are switched on and make sure the Ethernet cables are securely connected.

Bring up the menu with your remote

1. Select Settings*
2. From Signal & Connection select TV Channels
3. Select Retune Channels**

It can take a couple minutes to tune. Don't worry, we'll let you know when we're done.

Please note that it is not possible to manually retune the box.

If you've retuned and your signal is still on the low side, have a look through the steps in our How to improve your signal article. 

If you have any trouble with retuning your YouView box or you've lost some channels, please contact your box provider or internet service provider.

The simple old trick of restarting your router can help resolve this issue. Switch it off at the plug for 30 seconds and turn it back on. Give it a minute or two to warm up then check if you’re reconnected.

Please don't leave this page while your router is restarting as you won't have any internet access.

Using Powerline Adapters?

Make sure you switch both adapters off for 30 seconds and then turn them back on. Give them a minute to reset and all the lights will come back on.

The old “switch it on and off” routine. Overused but it can often help resolve the issue. Press and hold the  button on your box for 8 seconds, then let go. You’ll be greeted with a friendly ‘Hello’ telling you that your box has restarted.
