Freeview viewers will see ten channels disappear today and face having to retune their set-top boxes to keep some of their favourite shows. The subscription-free service is having to make changes to make way for the latest 5G mobile technology from EE.
With less bandwidth to use, Freeview has to make the changes which include a number of channels being taken off the platform for good, the Express reports. BBC FOUR HD, CBeebies HD, Together TV are staying but people will need to retune.
They are moving to a new signal and actually getting increased coverage whilst others are being forced to switch positions on the planner. Freeview is recommending all users to run a system update to make sure they keep every channel up to date.
