Is the BT "Hub" the source of the channels? Their TV box has an option to take an aerial input to give the freeview channels, and the aerial is plugged into the BTTV box. If so, it may just be choosing the right HDMI input on the TV to see the BTTV box.

If the aerial is and was connected to the TV directly, then the problem may just be that the TV needs tuning. Again if you can give the make and model then someone here will probably be able to tell you how to do that.

TVs will have a freeview tuner, no app is required.

I just saw you said Samsung. I have an old Samsung. On that, one has to make sure that the source is TV and not one of the HDMI sources. If so, and it hasn't tuned in it usually does so then. If not, whilst on the TV input go into settings. From there see what looks likely, I think mine is broadcasting and that then gives you autotune as an option.
