Looks like planned changes.

ITV is making some changes to increase their HD offering.
On 20 October, ITV HD launches in Yorkshire East, Central East, Anglia West, Meridian North and Meridian South.
Also on 20 October 2020, ITV SD closes in Border England, Anglia West, Meridian North and Yorkshire East. ITV+1 closes in Anglia, West, Tyne Tees, Westcountry, Wales and Yorkshire. These closing ITV SD and ITV+1 services will be replaced by larger regions.

Channel 103 is still set up as SD. My TV says it's 576p.

But don’t worry – after the changes, you’ll still be able to record all your favourite programmes on ITV following these few simple steps.
- Just go to your Sky planner from 20 October 2020, and delete any planned recordings you have set on ITV SD, ITV+1 or ITV HD.
- Then, re-select what you want to record from in the TV Guide (including any series links). Programmes recorded before 20 October 2020 will not be affected and these changes will not affect ITV2, ITV3, ITV4, ITVbe or any other channel.

That assumes we'd been given advance notice. If there had been a message in the EPG for channel 113, that might've helped.
Normally with channel number changes, there's no problem. It's handled automatically.
Seems odd that Anglia East will have 103 SD and 113 HD, but Anglia West will only have 103 HD. Can VM systems cope with that?
I should imagine that programmes recorded using 113, will no longer be available to play back. Now that is definitely going to cause complaints.
