Millions of Freeview watchers warned of nine major changes coming to TVs across the UK TODAY
FREEVIEW users will notice a number of changes on their TV guide from today following a major shake-up.
Yesterday, The Sun revealed that a new channel was launching on the free platform used by millions of Brits every day.
Great! Mystery caters to sofa detectives, with some star-studded Hollywood movies on show, such as Drive with Ryan Gosling, The Whistleblower with Rachel Weisz, and Lucky Number Slevin starring Morgan Freeman, Bruce Willis, and Josh Hartnett.
Now the broadcaster has announced an overhaul to some channel numbers which viewers must be aware of to avoid missing favourite shows or messing up any scheduled recordings they have.
Freeview routinely switches the TV guide up as channels launch and close.
Channel operators occasionally revamp their channels which can also trigger changes.

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.
