BBC phasing out SD services on satellite in 2023 - lovinthetelly - 15-11-2022

Big news:

The BBC will begin to close its standard definition regional services on satellite next year, followed by the closure of their remaining SD channels at a later (currently unspecified) date. All of the BBC's services will be available in HD, so the only way to continue viewing BBC TV on Sky will be via HD-capable equipment.

SD-only viewers will initially receive the network 'red screen' version of BBC One in early 2023; essentially an inversion of the current situation with respect to HD.

Viewers will be directed to a website for more information (not yet live).

A welcome step.
