Not that significant really, but will disappoint those wanting to minimise recording space by recording in SD.
Well, not quite. Older recordings may have been inaccessible for a while after the AD channels were removed from the EPG but should have become available again as the channels went into end of service placeholder status.

For Tivo and V6 boxes, yes. 360 boxes have a similar slideshow / audio loop on channel 851 advising how to use voice commands to enable audio description for BBC One although, seemingly, nothing on channel 852 to advise how to enable AD for BBC Two. Odd!

All the PSB channels that have a service in 850s have Audio Description enabled on their main instance now, so the 850 range channels are now redundant for their intended purpose.

With these closures I think it's just a matter of time now before the remaining channels in the 850s close.
What will we all do without an ITV London feed?
