That’s right, there’s no +1 channels, no UKTV channels (which is my biggest bugbear), all of the Channel 4 spin offs are in SD, and forget niche channels such as Talking Pictures TV or PBS America. Also if you want to listen to radio on the TV, there’s only the BBC and it makes you go through BBC Sounds.
I don’t mind it as I still have an aerial connected to my TV, so I flip back to that say if I want to watch Dave. It’s useful to have BBC1 Regional News in HD, which in North West Tonight’s case does broadcast in HD. I’m hopeful more channels will get added in due course.
I believe Sagecom make the current BT TV Pro box and Humax have made the general YouView and older BT TV boxes previously. Whether this has any bearing on the rollout of IPTV services outside of BT, I don’t know.
