Freeview TV guide switch up sees popular channel axed amid system retune
Freeview users will see a few changes to their TV guide once they give it a quick retune. Many UK households still use freeview to tune into their favourite weekly crime show or breakfast programme. With so many programmes and channels available to watch for nothing, many of us enjoy scrolling down the TV guide to see what new show will take our fancy. However, in order to keep everything up to date, freeview users need to make sure they give their TV a routine retune so they don't miss out on any changes, like new and updated channels. For those unsure on when to head to their settings, the traditional TV platform is urging viewers to take action now amid TV guide changes. Freeview 's latest upgrade will see four updates taking place. This switch-up includes a new channel launching, two channels moving positions, and one popular service being removed for good, reports the Express. For those intrigued by a new channel, India Today will be launching on channel 258 and will bring a variety of new content to your telly box. This channel is India's leading English-language news channel and will offer viewers the latest opinions and updates on politics, cricket, business, Bollywood, and more. As for the channel switcheroo, GREAT! Movies is set to move from channel 34 to 50, meanwhile GREAT! TV will be swapping places by moving from channel 50 to 34. Sadly, the last update in freeview's latest release is the axing of one channel. Following on from the removal of ITVBE last month, its catch-up companion channel ITVBE+1, which was originally found on channel 93, is also being binned. ITVBE was recently taken off the TV guide in order to make space for a new service called ITV Quiz. This new channel does what it says on the tin and provides viewers with access to their favourite quiz and game shows 24/7. For those who like to put their knowledge to the test from the comfort of their home, some of the shows coming up on this week's TV guide include Tipping Point, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Wheel Of Fortune, Deal or no Deal, Lino and Tenable. Freeview said: "On 16th July 2025 some broadcasters are making changes to their channels. You will need to retune to update your TV and keep your channels and TV Guide up to date." How to retune your TV For those unsure on how to retune their TV, freeview has issued out some advice in just a few simple steps for users to follow. • Press menu on your box or TV remote control • Select 'set-up', 'installation', 'update' or a similar option. If you're asked for a password, the default code is '1234' or '0000'. • Select 'first-time installation' (sometimes called 'factory reset', 'full retune' or 'default settings'). • Press 'OK' if your equipment asks if it's OK to delete existing channels and then your retune should start automatically. If you're prompted to, save the channels that are found. It would be wise to keep note of this process as Freeview quite frequently switches up their TV guide to provide an easier viewing experience.
