If the switchover to HD occurs after the recording starts in SD, might that not cause problems? Or perhaps the recording starts in HD because of the epg, but the broadcast is still in SD at the time. Going to try it. Also going to check the switchover from HD to SD after the last programme of the night.
What do the freeview channels for BBC3/4 do before 7pm? Does VM gain anything by broadcasting the BBC3/4 slates in SD?

BBC3 and BBC4 SD timeshare with CBBC and CBeebies respectively.
On Freeview the only difference is BBC4 HD and CBeebies HD, at time of writing, haven't relaunched since the recent closure of COM7, and BBC3HD is replaced by S4C HD and BBC Scotland Channel HD in Wales and Scotland respectively.
All VM are doing is pointing the channel number to an information slate channel out of hours. The broadcast channel will be broadcasting one of the BBC's children's channels so something else needs to be shown.
