Got home and seems there had been a notice on the TV of a channel update or change ... grandson pushed the re-scan button but took no notice of what the change might be 😁

 

Anyone know?

My LG popped up with something as well, but vanished before I could select anything.

no noticeable channel changes on Freeview's DTH service. Perhaps something TV vendor specific?

In Chch and got the message so I wrote down all 30 digital channels and then did the rescan.

 

Everything is exactly the same, so not sure what the rescan was for.

So did the LG set in the bedroom. Didn't get time to read it.

Neighbor called me over and they have the popup saying "The TV channels have changed, press OK to scan for updates'.

 

They've scanned multiple times but are still getting the popup. What would be causing that?

Yeah, I think it was for additional channels in the Samsung TV space ... as Stu1 said, more kids stuff.

Did anyone else recently do the survey (via market research panels) asking them to determine availability of Freeview channels 21, 200, 38, 19 ?

 

Made me wonder if someone is looking to revive Igloo...
