I think it will be done after the BBC1 regions have been converted to HD.

You make a very good point.

Also the HD Swap technology in Sky is run by the Sky boxes, I assume on Sky it just means setting the switch to right place.
I don't know anything about the technical side of this, but do know that the BBC have been carrying out satellite tests independently of Sky.

This would be good, but I can see most of the shows are already taken including Arrow, Modern Family (by both USA and ABC), but it will be good to see these channels, Im having to leave the ease of Virgin Media behind in 2014 as I move over to the states.



Fingers Crossed on Fox+, this is the 3rd time in 3 weeks!

A Huge EPG Shake Up is much needed, never understood why Sky1, the flagship Sky channel is behind Sky Living and Sky LivingIt, but the HD versions of non-hd swappable channels need to be moved closer to the bottom
Nobody is saying that any channels have moved, just pointing out that some have been renamed.

VM used to own Sky Living, so that's why it comes before Sky 1.
