Due to the national HD migration, Yle’s SD channels will be removed from Telia cable TV distribution on 31 March 2025. After that, Yle channels can only be viewed in HD quality and an HD-capable TV or set-top box is needed for that. The change applies to all cable TV and terrestrial antenna households.
In the next phase, the HD transition will also expand to other Finnish TV channels, on 30 June 2025
How to check the HD capability?
- In cable TV households, the HD versions of the basic channels will be visible on positions 1–20 in the channel list
- If the channels on your TV are numbered starting at position 21, you will need a new, HD-capable TV or set-top box to view Yle channels.
Changes in the cable TV network on 1–4 April 2025 – if necessary, re-scan the channels
- Due to the changes, TV broadcasts may be interrupted between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. on those days.
- Most TVs and set-top boxes will automatically update themselves to adapt to the changes.
- However, if your TV receiver does not automatically find the channels, perform a factory reset and a manual channel search. Refer to the device’s user manual for additional instructions.
Note: If you have scheduled recurring recordings of TV programmes, you must program them again after the channel search. However, programmes you have already recorded will remain on the hard disk of the TV set or set-top box.
