Check your Freeview TV now or you'll miss out on a free new channel to watch
If you fancy some extra things to watch then it's worth giving your Freeview devices a quick retune. The free-to-view service has just announced a slew of channel changes including an all-new new platform called That's TV 2.
This free update, which has gone live this week, brings a swathe of classic content to your telly including old episodes of shows such as lifeguard drama Baywatch and Channel 4's award-winning series Humans plus there are other programmes available including Prisoner: Cell Block H. Those who love Australian soap operas will also be pleased to hear that the very first season of Home and Away is also been shown to coincide with Home and Away's 35th year anniversary in the UK.
You'll find That's TV 2 on Freeview Channel 65 and Freesat Channel 181 although you will have to give your device a retune to watch.
"Some broadcasters are making important changes to their channels," Freeview said in an update.
"You will need to retune to update your TV and keep your channels and TV Guide up to date."

As well as Freeview and Freesat users getting to see the changes, Sky customers will also find That's TV 2 on their boxes if they head to Channel 188.
Speaking about the launch, That's TV's head of programming Kris Vaiksalu said: "Over the past year That’s TV has reached new heights and we now have a schedule bursting with iconic TV shows from Benidorm to Shameless. There are so many more iconic TV shows we would love to show but we had simply run out of hours to fit them in. So I asked myself, what would Einstein do?
"It’s been a lot of work but we’re hugely excited and privileged to be launching That’s TV 2 as our second archive TV channel.
"Our aim is to make it a complete nostalgia-fest with such iconic shows from the beginning as Home and Away, Humans, Prisoner: Cell Block H and Baywatch. That’s TV 2 does what it says on the tin – it’s a second helping of iconic TV from the That’s TV team."
As we mentioned earlier, That's TV 2 isn't the only change coming to Freeview with a number of other services switching as well.
