How to retune your Samsung TV

Freeview Play is not available on Samsung TVs. But, if your Samsung TV was manufactured in 2016 or earlier, it will most likely have Freeview installed.

For the most detailed information on how to retune your Samsung device we'd recommend that you visit the Samsung support page and enter your model number into the search box.

From here you will be able to download the instruction manual for your device which will contain step by step instructions on retuning.

You can also follow the instructions detailed below for some models.
