Freeview is making some changes including launching new channels and shutting others down.
So with that in mind, you might fancy giving your set-top box or TV a retune.
The popular free-to-view service has just announced some 'important changes' which include channel launches, changes and some that are closing down for good.
"On 16th October 2024 some broadcasters are making important changes to their channels," Freeview explained in an update on its blog page.

What's new on Freeview?
Firstly, four new channels are arriving on Freeview.
These include U&Eden (channel 57) from the team at UKTV. This service, which has been available on Sky for a while, features high-quality natural science programming including BBC blue chip series like Planet Earth and the UKTV Original, David Attenborough's Natural Curiosities.
The other new channels coming to Freeview are the CNA news service (channel 276), New Media TV (channel 269) and GIGS (channel 284) which shows live performances and documentaries.
Next up there's the U&DaveJaVu service which is moving from channel 57 to channel 74 and That's TV 3 (channel 71) which is becoming That's Christmas just in time for the festive period.

What is shutting down on Freeview?
A trio of channels will no longer be available from this week including Al Jazeera Eng (channel 235), Amazing Discoveries (channel 269) and U&Yesterday+1 (channel 74).
So, get retuning
To get all those changes you'll need to perform a quick reboot.
"You will need to retune to update your TV and keep your channels and TV Guide up to date," Freeview explained.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
