The addition of 'BBC One SW HD' and channel swap to 101 seems to have corrupted the EPG on my Sky+HD DRX890, creating many duplicate channels all over the place. Confused

A reboot and resetting of my favourites seems to have solved the issue. Tongue
Speaking of corrupted EPGs, Sky's online TV Guide for London HD is lacking BBC One, leaving BBC Two as the top channel.

This happens all the time once a local BBC One HD launches, and they still haven't fixed it!

I also noticed that. I often go to the Sky website to set a recording, but as you say BBC One has vanished other than the national HD version at LCN 115, which I presume will be gone after the end of next week?

Will be home to BBC Parliament HD, BBC One North East & Cumbria HD, BBC One North West HD and BBC One Yorkshire HD.

They are testing already. BBC Parliament is upscaled Dodgy 

And we also got BBC Two NI as a fifth channel on this transponder (makes sense to move it to their own transponder if the space is there).

Noticed BBC London took a Look East VT which was upscaled. So even if they're filming the output in 1080i from SD only sites, it's still being distributed in SD.

This only leaves South East HD to begin testing, unless they intend to just switch the feed on the current national channel to SE next week, once the others have successfully launched.

The latter one is what will happen. They did the same on 10818 V when BBC Scotland had to make way for BBC One London HD.

Yes you won't see any testing of SE as it's replacing the current BBC1 England HD. 

The Service ID for it has been on the transponder for a while, but of course the actual content itself is the 'red slate HD' version of BBC1. That will switch over at some point next week and it will be bye bye to the HD red slate on satellite

A Full HD VT was sent by Norwich for the evening London bulletin.
