If you have Freeview-powered TV in your living room it's time to check the settings. The popular free-to-view service has just confirmed a number of changes including the launch of a new channel and some updates to the planner.
"On 21 May 2025 some broadcasters are making changes to their channels," Freeview explained.
First, there's that new channel with Freeview announcing that High Street TV is finally coming to its platform. This shopping service has been available on Sky and Virgin Media for a while with it offering shopaholics the chance to buy products 24 hours a day.

You'll find High Street TV on channel 95.
That new service isn't the only upgrade. It's also been revealed that three current channels are getting a name change.
That means That's Dance (Ch 76) will switch to That's Pride. That's Oldies (Ch 78) changes to That's Summer and That's Dance MCR (Ch 79) is now called That's Pride MCR.
If you want all the new updates on your telly, then you may need to update it.
"You will need to retune to update your TV and keep your channels and TV Guide up to date," Freeview added.
Here's how to retune your devices.
• 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.
