Freeview regional news: find the BBC One feed your aerial receives
Check the over-the-air feed in the guide, use Freeview’s address lookup and keep the existing channel list until the region is verified.

Check the bulletin and the guide before retuning
If your television’s Freeview guide opens a BBC One regional bulletin from a different area, make sure the TV is using its aerial input. Open the guide around the local news slot and read the programme title. Freeview says a location can pick up signals from more than one transmitter. It suggests looking further down the guide, including the 800s, for an alternative version before deciding to retune.
For a home near a regional boundary, compare the two relevant programme rows at the same time. If the preferred BBC One version is already present and stable, add that version to Favourites. Verify the next local bulletin there before changing anything else. This is a smaller change than deleting channels and rescanning the television.
Use Freeview’s checker to decide what a retune could achieve
| What you need | Where to look |
|---|---|
| The preferred region is lower in the guide | Existing channel list and favourites control |
| The set receives two different regional editions | Exact programme labels and the address-based checker |
| No preferred version is found | Freeview coverage information for the home and transmitter details |
| The desired transmitter is documented for your address | The TV manufacturer’s manual tuning instructions |
Freeview says the preferred transmitter can have a weaker signal in some cases. If you proceed with manual tuning, write down the working stations and chosen region first. Follow the instructions for your television or receiver, and verify a couple of other channels after the change. An aerial guide result belongs to this tuning setup. An internet app can use a different way to select its region.
Preserve enough detail to ask about reception
Keep the programme name, TV input, model, which regional labels appeared and the checker result. You can tell a forum responder the broad area and transmitter name without posting a full address. If the preferred edition plays but drops out, report that alongside the strength or quality indicators the TV provides. A region-selection question and an unreliable signal can need different fixes.
