Most Freeview decoders and TVs will automatically find new channels as they become available. So to tune in, simply select channel 26 on your remote control and Firstlight should be there.

You will need a Freeview|HD (terrestrial) decoder box or a new flat screen television with built-in decoder. (Most televisions sold in the last few years come with a digital Freeview decoder already built-in.)
