Freeview has issued its users with a message after the platform launched a major new update.
The UK's biggest TV service has announced the launch of two new channels and has advised users to retune their TVs so they can access the new content. The new channels are completely free to watch with EarthxTV (channel 79) showing content centred around the environment and Celebration TV (channel 275) offering programmes based around faith and religion.
As well as launching two new services, Freeview has also confirmed some changes to its current content. The Now 90s service is moving from channel 79 to channel 87 while Country Music Entertainment is being rebranded to Classic Hits which will have increased coverage across the UK so more users can find the station on their TVs.

As with all Freeview updates, users may find they need to retune their television to view the new content. Confirming the changes, Freeview said in a post on its website: "Some broadcasters are making important changes to their family of channels and two new channels, EarthxTV and Celebration TV are launching on Freeview.
"You will need to retune to update your TV and keep your channels and TV Guide up to date."
News of this update comes as more free content will be arriving on Freeview next month thanks to the launch of a new film service. GREAT!, which already offers numerous movie channels on platforms such as Sky and Freeview, is launching a brand new service, called GREAT! movies Christmas, that will be dedicated to festive films.
Although December 25 is still months away, GREAT! will officially launch September 8, allowing people to get into the Christmas spirit ahead of the big day. The firm says it will broadcast films 24 hours a day and show movies such as A Christmas Melody starring Mariah Carey.
The channel will also broadcast family flick Call Me Claus, starring Whoopi Godberg and A Christmas Star, starring Pierce Brosnan and Liam Neeson.
You'll be able to find the free-to-watch service on Freeview 52, Sky 319, Virgin 424, and Freesat 303 from next month.
