Retune your Freeview TV now! Shake-up to TV Guide numbers and 3 all-new channels introduced with free update
"You will need to retune to update your TV and keep your channels and TV Guide up to date," Freeview has advised viewers
www.gbnews.comI don’t have live access to current news right now, but I can share recent patterns and how to check Freeview guides quickly.

What to expect: Freeview updates typically refresh channel lineups, rebrand or relocate some channels, and occasionally retire others. A retune is usually advised so your TV guide updates reflect the changes. If you’re in London, the same Freeview update process applies as across the UK.[1][3]
-
How to verify the latest:
- Check Freeview’s official blog or News/Service Updates page for announced channel launches, removals, or rebranding.[7]
- Look at major UK tech sites or Freeview support pages for “retune” notices tied to the latest update.[8][1]
- If you see a specific channel move or a new channel name, Freeview’s site usually confirms the change and the recommended retune steps.[6][7]
-
Quick steps to retune when changes are announced:
- On most Freeview TVs/boxes: Menu > Settings > Retune or Auto-tune. If that doesn’t work, a manual retune with defaults like 0000 or 1234 may be needed, then restart the device.[6][8]
Illustration: If you notice a channel like “Legends” renaming to “LEGEND” or a new channel launching, perform a retune to ensure the updated TV Guide and channel list appear correctly.[3][1]
If you’d like, tell me your exact Freeview device model (brand and box/tv type) and I’ll tailor retune steps and where to look for official updates for that hardware. I can also summarize the very latest Freeview update once you confirm a specific date or channel change you’ve seen.[7]
