I assume the overlay us not on the other 8 as they are probably downscaled HD feeds and would need routing differently if a slate appeared on BBC2 for exampleI'd have thought that BBC1 Nightlight and BBC1 HD will be two seperate outputs of the playout suite with just different captions in the playlist at regional news times. They aren't taking the red slate HD version and slapping a different caption on top.
I wonder what will actually happen on 8 Jan, and at what time? 😊
I imagine the reason it's not on all the SD services is because it would require extra sets of caption generators for each. BBC1 is the most popular channel.
As for Jan 8th, I'd have thought they'll just disappear from the EPGs at some point, then at some point after they'll remove the services from the transponder and then turn it off at some point after that.
Incidently the SD services are already gone from HD Freesat boxes
