SKY customers have been warned to expect some changes to three popular channels coming today.
The broadcaster frequently gives its channel lists a shuffle, but it can be a frustrating time for customers who like things to stay the same.

Sky Blockbusters – Satellite 302 – Glass/Stream 302 – will now be found under the names WizardingWorld or WizardingWldHD.
The channel is expected to host Harry Potter classics over the summer holidays.
Sky Cinema Comedy – Satellite 308 – Glass/Stream 308 – is set to change its name to Sky Fun or Sky Fun HD.
Sky Sci-Fi & Horror – Satellite – Glass/Stream 311 – will rename itself as SummerScares or Smr Scares HD.
The new channel names might be slightly confusing at first, but the channel numbers will remain the same.
The changes affect satellite only – ie Sky Q viewers.
So anyone on Sky Glass or Sky Stream is not impacted.
There has been some major changes to Sky TV channels this month.
