Re: Channel 4 to close SD channels on Sky and Freesat
 
Thanks MB. I wish they would phrase it in a way that makes it clear that HD versions of More 4 and E4 are becoming FTA, or not, as it’s a rather roundabout wording if that’s happening. The wording has a lingering doubt to it, and almost says it’s just the main Channel 4 that’s going HD only.

“the SD Channel 4 channel will close whilst various other C4-operated channels will move to a DVB-S2 transponder but remain in SD”

Gianni on Digital Spy has interpreted it with more certainty than me, but this is what I was also thinking it was actually saying. The article is either poorly written or intentionally click bait.
