I've retuned freeview several times in the 20 months I've had Sky Glass. With no network connection and freeview open pressing the right side of the circular button opens a settings menu where one of the options is a retune.

@Woodybrook  It can only be scanned as part of the initial setup and not retrospectively

The network connection on the Glass set must be switched off before a terrestrial television option will appear (just having broadband not working isn't enough if the router is still active)

@mike900 @OneOfThePeople @TimmyBGood . Thanks for your reply's. I'm gonna try each one,Although @OneOfThePeople I am not sure how to do your suggestion ,I can't seem to get to a network screen where I can hotspot my phone.

Re: Free view channels

Thankfully I've never had to use my phone as a hotspot - But I'm guessing it should appear as an option when you search for a Wi-Fi device 

Worst case you might need to delete your 'saved' Wi-Fi network and then research for your hotspot

If this info isn't correct then hopefully someone can update with correct steps

Good luck
