Going further, Sky also says the substitution should also occur if a broadcaster opts to make a regional HD service available on other platforms, but not Sky. This would mean that potentially, Sky viewers would find an HD service with different regional programming on channels 101-104, and would have to scroll down the channel list to find the correct regional programme.

Cable viewers in large areas around London have had to do that since its inception. (eg Bedford & Tunbridge Wells where the local channels are in the 800s). Be interesting if Sky screws it up in even more areas.
