Erithacus Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 Us Virgin victims/customers had the same thing until the latter part of last year. Used to be Ch108 for HD then the Points West stuff had to be on 101 and was in SD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to do away with the SD channels on Freeview because the bandwidth is required for 5G. To do that they had to get the HD tech into all the local studios. Its a gradual switch over and all regions should be ready for the end of March. Our Freesat box lost the SD channels a couple of weeks ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have clarified that this is on the Sky+ and Sky Q app for remote recording. 101 has disappeared from apps! 801 showing as BBC 1 HD Edited February 22, 2023 by Frenchay Red 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
