That's because Seven has upgraded its broadcast technology and some TVs need to be re-tuned to pick up Seven's main channel, which is now HD, or high-definition. Most TVs have an option to automatically re-scan channels within the TV menu. If you've having trouble, check your TV manual or contact the manufacturer.

Otherwise you can stream or catch-up on your favourite programs via the 7plus app…...
