www.bbc.co.uk
No suggestion on here that their planning on merging their DTT SD services into one channel, though I'm not sure why they've launched an info channel on Freeview for what is a fairly minor change for DTT (from a consumer point of view) that viewers would surely work out for themselves rather than stumbling on information channel in the depths of the EPG.
(along with all the other programmes) and we woudl expect the same for Itv
and on a Freeview Play TV/STB The LCN for BBC One HD will be 1 ....BBC Two will be 2
and I imagine that the others PSB will do likewise .... and the SD versions will be elsewhere
This is due to a service called Channel List management CLM.
Unlike DSAT There is no extra bit rate required to Broadcast BBC one Regions HD
there is no need to stop emitting SD from Mux1 /BBC A or for that matter itv Ch4 C5 from Mux2/ D3&4 .
...... But if it did happen as per the Vaizey plan a lot of things would need sorting out - see my earlier posts
