Freeview users are advised to promptly check their settings and retune their devices following a recent update. The UK TV platform has introduced changes to the channel lineup and TV guide, which require a retune to ensure access to the latest content. Several broadcasters are implementing adjustments this week, necessitating the retuning process.
Among the updates, four changes have been announced. Three channels have been rebranded with new names, offering a fresh experience when browsing through the TV guide. That’s TV 3 (Channel 71) is now known as That’s 20th Century, featuring music from past decades and iconic shows like Yes, Minister, In Sickness and in Health, and The Saint. Additionally, That’s TV 3 MCR (Channel 86) has been renamed That’s 20th Century MCR, while That’s Classics MCR (Channel 93) is now simply That’s Classics.
Moreover, a new channel, That’s Entertainment, is set to launch on Channel 75. Although program listings are not widely available yet, more details are expected to be revealed soon. Freeview emphasizes that these updates reflect the continuous adjustments made by broadcasters to offer diverse and current content.
To ensure access to the latest changes, Freeview users should observe the updates on their TV planner. If the changes do not appear, a retune is recommended by following these steps:
1. Press the menu button on the remote.
2. Navigate to settings, installation, or a similar option.
3. Enter the PIN if prompted (commonly 1234 or 0000).
4. Select “first-time installation,” “factory reset,” or “full retune.”
5. Confirm the deletion of existing channels.
6. Allow the device to automatically search for and store the updated channels.
While Freeview updates occur regularly, this recent update is particularly significant, underscoring the importance of retuning without delay to stay current with the latest channel lineup and TV guide.
