A little more than three months after the non -renewal of C8 and NRJ12 by the Arcom, the regulatory authority in charge of the audiovisual, TNT is preparing to experience great agitation. As of June 6, 2025 at midnight, several channels will change the numbering.
This is the case of BFMTV, which goes from channel 15 to channel 13, or even from France 4, which passes 4 to replace the+channel, which acted its TNT deviation after the end of C8. Therefore, this means a change in the habits of the spectators, but above all the updates of the device you use to receive television. It is also on this date that T18 will begin (in channel 18), replacing Gulli, which will now occupy channel 12.
Several cases can meet, and not everyone requires manipulation on their part.
If you receive TNT on your internet or channel+box:
In this case, the update is automatic. You have nothing to do, if not possibly restart your TV decoder provided with your Internet subscription.
In the case of Canal+, the encrypted chain is not obliged to respect the official numbering outside the historical channels (TF1, France 2, France 3, France 5 and M6). Also take into account that the channel “4” will not be that of France 4, and that T18 will be available in MyCanal on June 10.
If you receive TNT through its TV or TNT decoder:
Without a doubt, you will have to make a new “scan” going to the configuration of your TV or the device you use to receive television.
However, the technique differs depending on manufacturers, but it is generally enough to find the categories of “channels” in the configuration to initiate a new investigation.
If necessary, you should approach to consult the user manual to relaunch the chain search. Keep in mind that you must perform this action on June 6, 2025 after midnight to work.
If you receive satellite TNT:
If you receive TNT through a decoder and through the satellite, again, you will have to go to the APPREIL Settings menu to find the channels again. Check after the fact that everything went well (on Channel 8, you must have LCP, for example).
On its website, the ARCOM also invites technology users or who have difficulty addressed to the Recolatnt.fr site or the call of the national frequency call. The number 0970.818.818 is available from Monday to Friday from 9 am to 12 pm and from 1 pm at 5 pm
Finally, keep in mind that if the search is automatic, it will not necessarily be held at midnight on June 6. Arch explains that the update must be carried out “on the night of June 5 to 6” or “when the TV is lit”.
