Basically, yes. Although the channel no longer available listings are usually in place because the channel slot will still be available to display it. As the SD slots will be immediately reoccupied with HD channels (largely), after the channels have moved the "closure" listings would be replaced by listings for the active channel occupying the slot. There will probably be "Heads Up" popup / overlays for a while, informing viewers that the change has happened but doing it through the EPG is redundant when the slots are being reused.

Based on what what we think will happen on Tuesday, the Personal Picks will look something like this...

I think that what happens to the subscription packs will be the most interesting part of Tuesday's changes. The Entertainment tier could be flooded with extra channels with the other sections becoming more specialised. Followed by an over the top price increase to justify the extra channels. Just one option, anything could happen.
