Will I need to re tune to get new channels on Freeview?
Depends, sometimes the freeview system will automatically be updated , and fairly regularly, if left on standby rather than turning it off at the plug socket. Otherwise you may need to rune a retune to update your epg list. A TV retune, and software update can be performed by any reputable TV engineer for a small fee.
