I have sky + HD so why this pesky red message

[Terry+PInnell]

What more can I say that's not in the subject? I am so fed up of getting the message on a large red background when I play back many recordings. Such as Laura Kuensberg on Sunday, etc.

Are you recording the HD channels? 

You can blame the BBC for the overlay on the SD channels.

@Terry+PInnell  If you record BBC1 SD you will get this message, you won't if you record BBC1 HD, at some point the SD  channel will be removed leaving you with 2 options watch live or record in HD.

Recording in SD really isn't saving you any significant space.

As advised this is a BBC 1 SD message and not a message from Sky.

What the BBC are doing and why is also explained here:

Thanks for the fast answers so far. 

I'll check again shortly if somehow I accidentally recorded SD. That would obviously explain it. But I'm pretty sure I did not do so, as I always want to view at HD quality.

[Terry+PInnell]

I have now checked and it was indeed my fault. I had mistakenly selected the SD option for the series. Have now deleted and recorded HD.

Thanks again for all the much appreciated prompt replies.

In this context I'd add that setting Recordings remotely from the Sky+ or Sky Go apps will frequently select an SD version by default.

[Terry+PInnell]

Thanks, that's reassuring, and I'm going to conclude that's what happened in this case!
