This comes after Brits were urged to retune their TVs last month, following a Freeview update which saw changes made to several channels.
OxfordMail reported that Blaze+1 moved from Channel 81 to 92, while Rewind TV swapped Channel 92 for 81.
Among the changes were also channel renames and new launches.
Get more quality TV for free
By Jamie Harris, Assistant Technology and Science Reporter
If you’re tired of paying out on several streaming services like Netflix and Disney+ then there are a growing number of free alternatives around.
While many of these alternatives have been filled with obscure content, more big names like Sky have got on board in recent years offering some quality stuff, which is largely archive but still entertaining.
As well as UKTV, Sony and Channel 5 are among the other players getting involved.
If you haven’t already, give Pluto TV a go, it’s available on pretty much all devices including Fire TV Sticks.
On there you’ll find channels from MTV, with Catfish and Geordie Shore.
Some of the classics are real gems too – I found myself watching long-forgotten episodes of Sabrina the Teenage Witch the other day.
