What is happening?
From Wednesday 4th November September some changes will be made to freeview channels.
The changes include both Regional and Nationwide amendments to channel numbers, however as these are all LCN changes customers will not need to retune, unless they want to update the TV guide to match the revised channel number listing
The retune will affect the following channels:
