A reminder to take any G_Man multiplex changes with a pinch of salt. The multiplex regularly broadcasts teleshopping content across multiple channels rather than the expected content.

UK Terrestrial TV Changes @ukttvc.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

A few issues have been noted from the update, especially on the Freely side. Your TV Extra MCR has prominence over Your TV Extra. Maybe the channel numbers will change with the next update.

Many thanks to Craig for updating the status while I was away. He did offer to run the database update too but it was too risky as we are using a new connectivity platform. Craig ran the update with me, so is now trained to use the new system. Sorry for the delayed blog updates.

Although the press release suggests that the extra channels have "launched today" they are not currently available, at least not in some areas. This is normal as Freely updates can take quite some time to roll out across all TV regions.

Freeview advises viewers not to retune between June 24th and 26th. Then they go ahead and make changes to channels on June 25th. Not the best planning there Freeview...

Developments for 2026. (1/2) The blog will move away from the tabular format to make it easier to read on mobile devices, especially for partially sighted readers. However, some of the more complex changes will always need tables.

Developments for 2026. (2/2) We hope to introduce automated matching of current and previous period data in the database, similar to that used by UKCTVC. This will be a major coding development. There are also issues as DTT doesn't have the Unique Service IDs used for matching cable services.
