High definition telly viewers can expect an exciting line-up of vivid new channels just in time for Christmas as the BBC prepares to launch four additional HD services from tomorrow (Tuesday 10th December.)

However, we’re being advised that Freeview and Freesat viewers may have to retune their boxes if the channels don’t appear in the list.

For HD viewers here are those new BBC channels and where they will fit into channel listings:
