Vodafone has been changing numerous TV frequencies for months. The project is slowly coming to an end. However, a station search may currently be necessary in the following regions.
The new set-top box for TV reception via cable connection: the GigaTV Cable Box 2 (Source: © Vodafone) Do you have a problem with TV reception from Vodafone? This may be due to a change in the provider’s cable network. Up to 350 stations are affected by this. The changeover has been underway since August 2022. The process is currently reaching Lörrach and Heilbronn, among others.
There are currently more and more reports of problems with TV reception in our Vodafone cable fault reporter. However, there is currently no known problem. Therefore, the difficulties are probably related to a restructuring of the operator’s network.
Vodafone’s cable TV network is currently being standardized. For this purpose, the company is making changes to the reception frequencies. The changeover is taking place gradually and began in Nuremberg in August 2022 and is far from complete.
As information available to Netzwelt now shows, Vodafone will clearly miss the time targets it has set for changing channels in its cable network. Due to two major interruptions around the 2022 World Cup at the end of last year and again from the end of January to the beginning of April 2023, it is no longer possible to achieve the targeted goal of completion in July 2023.
The reason for this is greater preparations than had been assumed in the federal states of Vodafone West (formerly Unitymedia), namely Baden-Württemberg, Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia. The cable channel conversion will only begin there once the measures in the other federal states have been completed – probably in the second half of 2023.
What is certain is that the full digitalization of cable radio will take until the turn of the year. The reason is the same here. In the other 13 federal states outside the former Unitymedia area, Vodafone had already completed the shutdown of the analog radio signal in 2018.
The changeover is currently taking place in these regions
On this Vodafone website you can find out when you will be affected by the change. In the next few days, according to the unofficial forum Vodafone cable helpdesk The following regions will be affected by the change:
October 24th: Bad Rappenau, Hagen, Iserlohn October 26th: Aachen, Euskirchen, Kerpen, Mönchengladbach, Solingen, Wuppertal October 31st: Frankfurt am Main and the surrounding area November 7th Bielefeld, Dorsten, Dortmund, Hamm, Minden November 9th: Münster November 14th: Villingen-Schwenningen, Kassel October 31st: Frankfurt am Main and surrounding areas November 16th: Ravensburg November 21st: Sigmaringen November 28th: Bensheim November 30th: Gießen
Vodafone cable customers have to keep this in mind when changing channels
So if you can’t receive some channels via your Vodafone cable connection at the moment, you shouldn’t panic. A station search usually provides a quick remedy here. Vodafone points out that the change will occur automatically in the vast majority of cases.
Anyone who uses receivers from Vodafone, Unitymedia or Sky doesn’t have to do anything other than check the changes the following day. If you use other devices, you may have to carry out a manual channel search, as mentioned.
By the way, if the station search doesn’t bring any improvement, you can find out about possible outages in the Vodafone network in our fault reporter.
