You can't remove it from a recording, I'm afraid.

AFAIK its part of the transmission from the BBC, do you get the banner on the HD versions of the channels?

Thank you, I've just realised it's on recordings that are SD, I've changed them to HD hopefully that will resolve it.

thank you

Please can Sky remove the warning message about HD on BBC one SD. Or change it so it is broadcasted for 30 seconds at the start of the programme. It doesn't need to stay for the whole show and takes up half the screen.
I have to record in SD due to disc space and it's making every recording unwatchable. And then I have to wait until available on catch up to download (in SD).

No, they can't, it is nothing to do with Sky, it is the BBC showing that message on BBC1 SD, Sky have no control of transmissions from other broadcasters.

BBC SD will be closing completely early next year so you might as well get used to recording in HD now, as it will be the only option soon.

You will have to find another way to save disk space as the SD versions will not be an option for much longer

@jas666 You can't be as the BBC don't show it on the HD channels only BBC 1 SD, have you checked in the 800s on the EPG to see if the correct HD version is there instead of 101?

How did you set the recording, via the box itself or via the Sky Go app ?

Re: How do you remove the message banner from the bottom of all BBC programmes

jas666 — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 23:01:26 GMT

I *think* it was the sky app

Re: How do you remove the message banner from the bottom of all BBC programmes

caesarome — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 23:07:47 GMT

If it was the Sky Go app then you should note that the channels are reversed via it so to set a recording via your box on 101HD you need to do it via 801 on the app which is the HD channel. You might have set it via 101 which is the SD version on the app so your box has recorded via BBC One SD and hence the onscreen message.

Typical BBC service , ignoring customers. This is why the BBC now have a credibility problem. Hold the banner on for 30 seconds with a warning that in future please change. I svoid the BBC when I can because I dislike that Gary what's name. Will think of refusing fee, as news is biased as well . Dreadful service .
