Nine of the 14 episodes from the first (Rediffusion) series were released on DVD in the UK and the US on 25 August 2005.<ref>{{Cite web |date=July 25, 2005 |title=Do Not Adjust Your Set |url=https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/do_not_adjust_your_set/shop/2282/do_not_adjust_your_set/ |website=British Comedy Guide}}</ref> Both releases use the same [[NTSC]] Region 0 discs made from [[telerecording]]s of the original videotapes. In this DVD release, the episodes are numbered 1 to 9, although, in fact, they are episodes 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 from series 1 <ref>{{Cite web |last=Thorn |first=The |date=May 9, 2015 |title=Do Not Adjust Your Set |url=https://thecriticaleye.me/2015/05/09/do-not-adjust-your-set/ |website=The Critical Eye}}</ref> (a similar fault was made on the release of ''[[At Last the 1948 Show]]'').<ref>{{Cite web |last=Thorn |first=The |date=May 2, 2015 |title=At Last the 1948 Show |url=https://thecriticaleye.me/2015/05/02/at-last-the-1948-show/ |website=The Critical Eye}}</ref> The sole surviving episode from series 2 and ''Do Not Adjust Your Stocking'' were not included.<ref>{{cite web |title=Missing Episodes website |url=http://www.btinternet.com/~m.brown1/dnays.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121011194036/http://www.btinternet.com/~m.brown1/dnays.htm |archive-date=11 October 2012}}</ref> Contrary to claims on the packaging, Terry Gilliam's animations also do not appear on this release, although Gilliam does appear as one of the additional writers in the credits for episodes 3 and 4. The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band was seen playing their song "[[Death Cab for Cutie (song)|Death Cab for Cutie]]" (also performed in [[the Beatles]]' film ''[[Magical Mystery Tour (film)|Magical Mystery Tour]]'') on the DVD in episode 7.

On 16 September 2019, the [[British Film Institute]] released a comprehensive DVD set of the surviving videos and animations from both series.<ref>{{cite AV media |url=https://shop.bfi.org.uk/pre-order-do-not-adjust-your-set-3-disc-dvd-set.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190623154435/https://shop.bfi.org.uk/pre-order-do-not-adjust-your-set-3-disc-dvd-set.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=23 June 2019 |title=Do Not Adjust Your Set |date=2019 |publisher=British Film Institute |access-date=28 June 2019 |id=BFIV2121}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=September 16, 2019 |title=Do Not Adjust Your Set |url=https://hmv.com/store/film-tv/dvd/do-not-adjust-your-set |website=HMV}}</ref> It includes the previously missing fourth episode of the first series, which was rediscovered (but only after the earlier DVD release) when it was noticed that a copy had been sent to the jury of the Prix de Jeunesse award.<ref>{{cite web |title=Missing Episodes website |url=http://www.thiswaydown.org/missing-episodes/dnays.htm}}</ref> This edition survives as a domestic recording on a Phillips 1500 cassette made by [[Thames Television]] in 1976, which was discovered by Kaleidoscope in 2015, when a copy was returned from Munich.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Perry |first=Chris |title=Do Not Adjust Your Set - Collectors Edition |publisher=BFI |date=September 16, 2019 |location=London |pages=32 |language=English}}</ref> It is thus the only series 1 episode with magnetic rather than optical sound quality. The BFI release features episodes with their original numbering. They include the Christmas special and some Terry Gilliam animations (restored from his own masters) that appeared in otherwise lost episodes.
