Freeview changes?

Yesterday a message popped up on my Freeview recorder I caught the word update and November before it vanished as I was changing channels and that dismissed everything on screen. I checked with my parents and they too had the message.
"What did it say?" I asked
"Something about an update on the 15th November, it said press OK so we did because we had just started watching a recording."

Has it returned? Yeah right! Checking around it seems that some of the channels contracts expire today and all it means is yet another retune.
