If you own a Freeview TV, it’s a good time to ensure it’s updated and retuned as two new channels have been added recently. The first is wedotv Movies UK, transitioning from an online service to an over-the-air channel, offering a lineup of recent blockbuster films. The second is Cartoon Classics on channel 214, featuring classic animated shows like The Smurfs and Sonic X.
To enjoy these new channels, it’s recommended to update your TV settings. Freeview has announced changes on October 22, 2025, prompting users to retune for channel updates and an up-to-date TV Guide. Additionally, Gems TV on channel 45 is rebranding as Gemporia.
Freeview has provided steps for retuning devices:
– Press the menu on your TV remote control
– Select ‘set-up’, ‘installation’, or ‘update’
– Choose ‘first-time installation’ or a similar option
– Confirm deletion of existing channels and save newly found channels if prompted
Freeview emphasizes that channels are regularly evolving to offer diverse content, ensuring an enriched viewing experience for audiences.
