BBC Three, BBC Four, E4, ITV2, Sky One and Dave - rebranded from UKTV G2 in September - have all been nominated in an online poll process. In last year's list, pay-TV channel UKTV Gold and More4 replaced Dave and E4.
Dave, which also joined Freeview in the autumn, has seen a significant increase in its share of viewing since the changes.
The winner will be announced along with the terrestrial channel award, for which all five relevant services are nominated, at the festival on August 23. Last year's winners were BBC One and ITV2.
For the first time, prizes for best terrestrial programme and best non-terrestrial programme will also be awarded. All categories are judged by the Edinburgh executive committee.
