MILLIONS of telly fans may have to rescan their box tomorrow to receive two extra channels.

Freeview is set for another new arrival – though it’ll come at a sacrifice.

What you receive will also depend where you are in the UK.

From Wednesday, the GREAT! network of channels is changing its availability on Freeview.

The changes are expected around midday.

Until now, the company has had GREAT! tv, GREAT! Romance and kids channel POP on the free service.

The main GREAT! tv channel has already gone national on number 50 as of last month.

It’s also existed on its old slot too for a little while longer in some parts, but from tomorrow it’ll go dark.

Elsewhere, GREAT! Romance is apparently becoming more widely available.

According to RXTVInfo, the channel is also moving to a national Freeview slot on July 19, at number 52.

Unfortunately it’ll all come at the expense of sister channel POP.

The kids station will have its coverage reduced in some areas.

However, a lot of it is available on demand instead.

To find out if you’re affected, check channels 7 or 8 on July 19.

If you see a local channel after retuning, you should still receive POP.
