It sounds like they have, indeed, come to agreements with Sky and Freesat to leave the channels on the EPG for a short extra time to finally hammer things home to SD viewers before the feeds are switched off entirely.
Just a thought, but I wonder if Sky’s rules might be slightly different for LCNs 101–105, given by law they’re reserved for the PSBs, so there can’t be issues over EPG squatting.
I also wonder if, once the stream is turned off, there might be a message on 101 generated by Sky boxes explaining BBC One’s absence, rather like the old ‘Press TV then 3 for ITV’ message in the early days of Sky Digital.
