Freeview set top box

Options
For the past couple of days I have been unable to watch ITV2 which is channel 6 on freeview box (Philips).
All other channels are fine, the picture just freezes after a couple of seconds when I press channel 6.

Any ideas on what could be wrong will be much appreciated.

    The creepy people who run TV have messed about with some C4 and ITV channels and channel numbers. They didn't tell anyone and what you need to do is rescan the channels.

    ITV did give out several warnings that from a certain date you'd need to re-scan otherwise you might lose the channels, advertised up to the night before where they advertised tomorrow you may need to re-scan for channels or you may lose some ITV channels.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!
