Freeview TV is the perfect solution for anyone who loves a bargain. Across the UK, millions of households opt for Freeview over other television suppliers. Not only does the service provide all the most popular channels, but they all come completely free.
The only downside with Freeview is that customers have to remember to retune regularly. This is not often a hassle and shouldn’t take much time. But, in 2020 there have been some major disruptions to the service. Not a reflection of what the service will be like in the future, though, Freeview has undergone some service works over the course of the year.
Because of the changes, some channels have either been cut entirely from the Freeview service or they’ve moved to other numbers. So, here’s a look at what to do for customers who can’t find Pick on Freeview; has it changed channel number? Or can it be accessed online?
I can’t find Pick on Freeview: What is the channel number?
As of June 18th 2020, Freeview moved the Pick TV +1 channel from channel number 92 to channel number 11.
The broadcast change is part of wider changes that are taking place across the Freeview service in the UK.
If you’ve switched over to channel number 11 and still can’t access Pick TV, try checking which channels should be available via Freeview’s postcode checker. If Pick should be accessible, try a retune. However, not all channels are available to everyone across the country.
Freeview users can watch the Pick channel in standard definition. However, for anyone wishing to watch in HD, Freesat channel 147 provides high definition viewing.

Pick Freeview: Premier League
