Freeview users are advised to promptly review their settings and retune their devices as an update has been rolled out by the UK TV platform. The update includes changes to the channel lineup and TV guide. Freeview has stated that certain broadcasters are implementing adjustments this week, necessitating a retune to ensure that channels and the TV guide remain current.
The latest update introduces four modifications. Firstly, three existing channels have been rebranded with new names, which will now be visible when browsing through the TV guide.
Here are the details of the changes:
– That’s TV 3 (Channel 71) has been renamed That’s 20th Century, offering music from previous decades and featuring iconic shows like Yes, Minister, In Sickness and in Health, and The Saint.
– That’s TV 3 MCR (Channel 86) is now That’s 20th Century MCR, while That’s Classics MCR (Channel 93) has been simplified to That’s Classics.
In addition to the rebrands, a new channel named That’s Entertainment will launch on Channel 75. Although program listings are not widely available yet, more information is expected soon.
Freeview emphasizes that such updates are part of ongoing changes as broadcasters frequently adjust their offerings to ensure diverse and current content.
If you are a Freeview user, you should see these changes reflected in the TV planner. If not, a retune may be necessary by following these steps:
1. Press the menu button on your remote.
2. Access settings, installation, or a similar option.
3. Enter your PIN if prompted (commonly 1234 or 0000).
4. Select “first-time installation,” “factory reset,” or “full retune”.
5. Confirm that you are willing to delete existing channels.
6. Your device will then automatically search for and store the updated channels.
While Freeview updates occur regularly, this recent update is considered significant, so it is recommended to retune your device promptly.
