I think he means the TiVo's channel logo. They always take a while to update.

I am not talking about the logo.

On non-TiVo boxes when you look up BBC HD on Channel 187 it now says BBC TWO HD.

I dont see why they can't just have the TiVo do it for you, have 101 default to BBC One HD if you have a HDTV and SD if you dont. Only problem would be the regional stuff but that shouldn't be an issue for too long.

But as a stop gap yeah, do what discovery have done and put the HD channel before the SD channel. Or even better, downscale the HD stuff with the hardware so you dont even need SD channels in the future.

Yeah I'm not sure why they don't do that now, especially on Sky where they're reaching the boxes limit for channel numbers.

Not sure how Sky do it, but I wouldn't want everything on BBC1 suddenly recording in HD! I would soon run out of recording space on my TIVO, and I've got a 1 TB box!

You'd need boxes that are much more technically advanced than they currently are to do that - meaning they'd be more expensive

Not really, they all have onboard hardware scalers (otherwise they would need a separate box for SD and the various specs of HDTV) so it's really just a case of making the software know what to do when it encounters a channel in a format it knows the TV can't support.

Suppose it depends on how you expect it to do it - if I remember correctly the V+ HD box could output HD in SD, but it would still record it in HD as it just records the channel feed.

What I meant was a box that would record HD in SD (going from OLD BOY's comment) depending on the settings.
