Anyone with a Freeview TV or set-top box in their living room would be wise to follow the latest advice from the popular telly service. A swathe of changes have just been released including new channels, more content along with an update to the planner but users will only receive the update if they retune their screens.<\/p>\n

“On 23 August 2023 some broadcasters are making important changes to their channels,” Freeview explained in a blog post. “You will need to retune to update your TV and keep your channels and TV Guide up to date.”<\/p>\n

So what’s new and what has changed?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Firstly, there are two new channels as part of the changes including That’s 90s (channel 86) and Zee World (channel 278).<\/p>\n

Next up, eight channels are moving position on the planner which means they no longer sit in their usual position, these include That’s 60s, That’s 80s, That’s TV and Together TV+1.<\/p>\n

Freeview introduce their new Play streaming service in 2021<\/h3>\n

FULL LIST OF CHANNEL CHANGES BELOW<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s 60s \u2022\u00a0WAS Ch 71 – NOW Ch 65<\/p>\n

That’s 70s \u2022\u00a0WAS Ch 75 – NOW Ch 71<\/p>\n

That’s 80s \u2022\u00a0WAS Ch 76 – NOW Ch 75<\/p>\n

That’s TV (UK) \u2022\u00a0WAS Ch 65 – NOW Ch 56<\/p>\n

That’s 60s MCR \u2022 WAS Ch 77 – NOW Ch 76<\/p>\n

That’s 70s MCR \u2022\u00a0WAS Ch 80 – NOW Ch 77<\/p>\n

That’s 80s MCR \u2022\u00a0WAS 86 – NOW Ch 80<\/p>\n

Together TV+1 \u2022\u00a0WAS Ch 90 – NOW Ch 285<\/p>\n

The final change coming to Freeview is that more homes across the UK are getting access to three movie channels which include GREAT! tv+1, GREAT! Movies +1 and GREAT! Romance +1.<\/p>\n

These services are broadcast across the whole of the country but there is now increased coverage so it’s worth a retune to see if you can now access some bonus feature films.<\/p>\n

HOW TO RETUNE YOUR FREEVIEW TV<\/strong><\/p>\n
