Recently signed up to Sky Stream. It’s great having the local news on BBC 1 HD, but Look North is definitely in SD still and on top of this, the national news looks to be broadcast in SD too. Is there a reason for this? Can understand the local news but not the national.

In the Midlands, you can tell when they have opted in as the picture goes to SD just before the start of the programme and the headlines. You can tell when they opt out as it jumps to HD and obviously the picture improves greatly. Hopefully for not much longer as aren't all studios getting a face-lift that is taking months not days/weeks.
