I knew some were happening.
Smithsonian used to be on 56, and is now on 57. I have _not_ done a
retune.
I typed in 56 (I had been watching 2). My set didn't change channel, but a message appeared - I think it said "invalid channel". Fair enough.
I typed 57, and Smithsonian came up. Again, fair enough.
BUT: a message appeared telling me it had moved, and where to go to find
out about how to do a retune (as if I don't know by now!).
So what gives? If my set will no longer get it on 56, but now will on 57,
why do I need a retune? And why is it telling me it has moved, when I'm viewing it having typed in the new number?

You can tell that you are getting old when typing VCR into a document [results
that the spell checker] wants to change it to Vicar.

If you don't want BBC 3, (and very few do) then don't retune, and
everything will remain 'as is'. Simples.

o I _haven't_ done a retune;
o several channels are (on my set) on their new numbers, and _not_ on
their old; and
o the set is still telling me a retune is needed.
For example, Smithsonian was on 56, now 57 - I _haven't_ done a retune,
but can now only find it on 57 (it actually says "Invalid channel" if I
enter 56).
If I type in 57, I get Smithsonian - and after a coupe of seconds, a
block of text starting "Smithsonian has moved to 57" or something like
that. _But I'm seeing that having selected 57._
Now, having selected it several times (it kept disappearing after a few seconds), I'm _not_ seeing the message when I select 57 (I've even put
the set into and out of standby).

No, your set is not telling you that you need to do a retune, Arqiva is >telling you (and everyone else) by generating the text.
I would guess your TV is set to auto update, so when the appropriate
data told it to change and what to change it just did it, period.

Isn't that just putting things off? Eventually you have to do a retune as things get shuffled around.

It changed my 'fish fingers' to 'fish fingernails'.

Yes but even in the times when VCRs were common, it still changed them to vicars.
