Hi all,

Just had a thought, since Freeview does something similar;
Wouldn't it have been logical if HD channels was a 4 digit number keeping the original 3 digits intact. ('1'+'[channel number]');

e.g. BBC One HD would be 1101
MTV HD would be 1134
Film 4 HD would be 1429
and so on...

Alternatively, 0 could be used in replacement of 1 so 0101 etc.

This would also mean:
- Freeing up space in the EPG for other channels
- Allowing easy transition of everything to HD when equipment allows (just swap them around)

Let me know what you think :-)
