There are probably some folks out there struggling to get recption on 405 line sets, what about those?😁 HD has been around for over 15 years  -- time they updated equipment or put up with what they have got

Because bbc three doesn't officially launch till 7pm next Tuesday so when the channel launches on sky tomorrow what will be on it will it just be a blank screen and I hope HD version will be at 117 and not 845 can anyone confirm this thanks

@Anonymous  Promo loops will run after 7pm on BBC Three until relaunch.

So once BBC One is fully HD on Sky, does this mean no more SD?

You do seem to have an irrational hatred of all things SD... 😆

That'll be for the BBC to decide. They may want to keep the SD broadcasts as there are still a reasonable number of people using non HD receivers (both Sky+ and free to air)

There's no reason to keep the SD broadcasts for Sky. The Sky Q box can show BBC in 720p or 1080i depending on the TV in use. Can Sky+ downscale HD to SD?

BBC is complaining about the licence fee freeze. I'm just trhinking of a way for BBC to save money.

Is that really your job? I'm sure the BBC have many well paid employees that have the task of saving them money

You just seem to have an unhealthy obsession with HD/UHD 😞

Heard it all before in your former guise, and you're still banging the same tedious drum.

There are about 11 million households watching on satellite - about 2.5m of them aren't Sky subscribers. Not of all those have HD receivers.

 Oh and Sky still have quite a number of subscribers with Sky+ (non HD) boxes, so there is still a need for SD broadcasts.

Just to let you know a "TV day" is from 06:00 to 05:59. (+1 channels 07:00 to 06:59). 

Also, the EPG may not be updated until tomorrow afternoon or a bit later.

Related to the point above, sky do run updates around 5:45am or so, I found this out one night when I fall asleep on the sofa and woke at 5:47am to big blue flashing lights from the sky box

Well, if the Sky One to Sky Showcase/Max was anything to go by, it will be late morning.

Sky do a box reset at around this time - this morning mine did it at 5.15am and do most mornings.

Channel additions are usually after 10am.

Anyway it feels anticlimactic to me, as they are not broadcasting programmes until 1st Feb so that is 5 days
