Just had a pop up message on my TV saying a retune in 2 weeks time.

    Thankfully not a necessary retune. You will not lose anything by doing nothing.

    I didn't think there was much room for new channels :confused:

    What is the purpose of the retune?

    It's not that.

    It's a re-numbering of some channels. But if you do nothing you won't lose anything anyway even for those channels that have changed numbers. Just that the numbers on your telly might not necessarily match those printed in the likes of the Radio Times.

    Well on page 9991 it states: "to make room for new channels".

    It does facilitate new channels to be added, and the existing numbering system was too
    restrictive.

    But it's not actually adding any new channels.

    It is simply a change to the numbering scheme to open up numbers for any new services that may come along and to try and group similar types of programme service into blocks of numbers.
