In Scotland:
101 is BBC1 HD
102 is BBC2 Scotland SD - BBC2 HD UK is 115.
103 is STV HD
104 is CH4 SD - HD is 227.
105 is CH5 HD.
In terms of niggles. I like to download things in SD due to slow BB but use HD if recording off TV which I have set in the preferences but this means that all the recordings suggested off-air are SD too. Now you can just go to other showings to choose HD but it is annoying as you forget sometimes.

Re: Sky Q ....likes and dislikes
SD you say? What is this SD you speak of?
I remember in the old days I would watch 1080 HD, but now I watch Ultra High DEFINTION Sports, Ultra high definition Movies, and Ultra high definition boxsets on SkyQ. 
HD yes, UHD yes, SD I'm sorry what is this SD????????

HDR live TV standards hadn't been ratified at launch I'm not even sure they have now , however Sky say they are confident the specs will be completed in a way that will work with its chips.

What is the maximum your property can receive Stephen?
We are lucky in that we can also get full speed on the upto 76mb service also however I choose the standard unlimited fibre as we really don't need the faster speeds. In the Sky Q hub page do you now have the powerline option ?
There is an update very soon to the Sky Q system

Re: Sky Q ....likes and dislikes
Nope my firmware still hasn't updated yet.
I can get the full speed as well. Quiet area and can see fibre cab from window.
Going to see how the 38 goes and may upgrade as it's only 5 quid extra.

Re: Sky Q ....likes and dislikes
Well that's My Sky Q installed. Engineer never arrived till 5pm, but all working now.
So far I love it, so fast through menu's and downloading movies from Sky On Demand.
Going to take a bit of getting used to the new remote though.

Re: Sky Q ....likes and dislikes
A lot of people have moaned about the home button landing you on Top Picks rather than the guide that's why I like the touch remote a swipe either way and your exactly where you want anyway.

Re: Sky Q ....likes and dislikes
Sky Q Q003 software update now available
The update needs to be installed for both your main Q box and your Q Minis.
