In fact, where's the logic in any of the numbering anymore? Why is BBC4 on 107 in SD but on 163 in HD? (and 106 is empty!)
I'm surprised the programme makers aren't up in arms - it's an absolute farce

Although it is better than Sky's, channel numbering on cable has always been one of the big three issues with cable tv. The other two being speed/usability and missing channels.
As I always say, I can move the channels wherever I want and whatever number I want on my Freeview boxes.
And before someone says but what about the local versions of say BBC One which are not in HD. I have BBBC 1 HD on ch 101 and BBC 1 SD London on Ch999 - right next to each other. Plus I have ITV SD London on 998 not too far from ITV HD on ch 103. Simple.
Why can't I do this on cable, especially as I'm paying a premium for the tv service??
