TELLY fans are bracing for yet another Sky TV guide shake-up in days.
The broadcasting giant is expected to rebrand two this week – and one is taking place today.
Every month, Sky makes changes to the TV guide.
Sometimes it means dozens of channels being completely.
Just last week, , vanishing from satellite channel slot 223 (or 224 in Scotland).
The next change is on Monday, April 14 – yes, today.
Sky is rebranding MTV Hits to Club MTV, affecting Satellite/Glass/Stream channel 351.
Then on Friday, April 18, Sky Hits will have its name changed to The Hobbit HD.
This affects Satellite/Glass/Stream channel 303, but is only temporary.
That means it'll eventually swap back to Sky Hits, although we don't know exactly when.
What we do know is that you'll be able to enjoy Peter Jackson's The Hobbit movie trilogy on the channel, which Lord of the Rings fans should be thrilled about.
The swaps follow dozens of that have already been rolled out in April.

Importantly, there may still be more big changes to come.
Sky typically only reveals channel changes for the week ahead – so we don't know what's going to happen at the end of April.
It's also worth noting that the list of proposed swaps can also change if Sky tweaks its plans.
