It's clear to see why there making these changes in bringing On Demand to the fore , it seems there's plenty of incentive from a business point of view.

The total subscriber base connected is in excess of 4.4 million , this will encourage more to connect.

2013 saw 1.2 billion requests for On Demand content via STB and Sky Go more than double 2012.

Those with connected boxes are watching more TV overall.

In some cases repeats and on-demand views account for more than four times as many viewers as even a major show’s premiere.

Over a million searches a day with search in its current position behind the blue button.

Sky Store revenues were massively up.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I wonder if this service will be expanded beyond the Sky+HD boxes to Sky Store on YouView , Roku etc ?

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

It would appear Sky HD viewers in England will receive BBC One HD on channel 101 from Monday.

It would also appear Sky HD viewers will be able to view
HD versions of the four national versions of BBC One HD on Sky channels 976-979.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I have bbc hd on 101 for awhile (at least the last couple of months)..albeit I am in Scotland

Didn't realise the rest weren't that way

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

BBC 1 Wales HD is on 101 too. I think it's because Scotland/Wales local news is has been broadcast in HD for a while.

Holy Batman..Have I moved to bizarro world? Scotland and Wales getting something before England? Crazy :D

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I think its pretty much down to Wales and Scotland having only one local news studio to upgrade to HD
