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 Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
