Fred Selley: You won't receive 4seven on Freeview as it is only available from transmitters that carry all Freeview channels.
I received the same message myself when I switched from BBC to Channel 4, so I can only assume that the message to retune is being broadcast over the air on Channel 4, hence everyone will see it, even if they cannot ever tune to it.
I think that the likely answer at your location is that you won't be able to receive full Freeview. Freesat provides additional channels, including 4seven.
