As you may have heard, all viewers in the UK will lose access to Eurosport 1 and Eurosport 2 (channels 521 and 522 respectively).
After 35 years of broadcasting in the UK, the pair will end on Friday.
Much of their content will move to TNT Sports, with some free programmes remaining via the Quest channel.
But that’s not the only change this week.

Some channels are also having a routine revamp – though you’ll only notice the change if you subscribe to them.
Firstly, among the kids channels, both Nick Jr Too and Nicktoons are having a temporary shake-up.
On Friday, they’ll be known as Nick Jr Peppa and Nick Sponge Bob respectively.
They’ll still be available at 716 and 717 on Virgin Media.
And if you’re a Sky Cinema subscriber on Virgin TV, there are a trio of changes there too.
Sky Cinema Awards Season switches to Sky Cinema Ultimate Action on Virgin channel 402.
Meanwhile, Sky Cinema Action will become Sky Cinema Fast, showing all the Fast and Furious movies on number 407.
Finally, Sky Cinema Greats on 404 will become Sky Cinema Award Winners, tying in nicely right before the Oscars 2025 on March 3.
