The information is here instead: https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-TV/BBC-One-and-BBC-Two-regions-coming-to-Sky-Glass-and-Sky-Stream/b... 

The channel numbers are for Sky Q and Sky Glass, but they've launched on Sky Glass recently. 

[jamesrobinson6]

Thank you. I noticed that. But normally they would be in this thread.

@jamesrobinson6 

I think staff get the updates on a Friday but last Friday was a bank holiday so that may be the reason.

Personally I blame the First Council of Nicaea ; )

[jamesrobinson6]

Thanks for that.

Mine starts at 952 with Bbc 1 NE HD?

[xenon81]

BBC One London is on 951, but if you live in that region it won't be listed as it's on 101. Your own region is not included in the 951-971 range.

[Super+Anthony]

Thank you. That's very helpful

@Chloe-W22  @KevNewMedia this thread needs updating as it's now out of date and recent changes to tv guide not listed on here so please look into this thank you 

[jamesrobinson6]

Exactly what I meant when I posted my original question 

Normally updated on a Friday but was expecting an update last Thursday. But nothing appeared then or in Tuesday.

Of course some could be on holiday so we can forgive that of course. If so, sorry for misunderstanding.

Do you have BBC One London HD on channel 101 (or channel 801 on SD only boxes)?

The regional version on channel 101/102 is missing from the 950-980 range. 

Also, seemingly Sky cannot duplicate a feed on another channel, so (e.g.)  BBC One London can only be on channel 101 or 950, not both.

This is why there is multiple satellite feeds of the Sky Intro channel on channels 899, 950, 998 (HD) and 999.
