If they did that they'd likely get inundated (well, more than usual) with complaints wondering where Paramount went because the channel number change occurred simultaneously, no matter how much on-air promotion about the change they did prior. Sometimes doing two changes at the same time is a bad idea, not everyone understands changes and they just lash out and get angry. The 5Select transmission change on Freeview was just one change rather than two and didn't go down well with some, I read a fair few posts along the lines of "my dad loves the channel, what's happened?" in that instance.
Back to topic, well closer, will the HD version survive in the long run?
