oh interesting. will that mean we'll start to see the end of ridiculous SD music channels etc?

Would be good if Virgin could be as aggressive - which they were with the PSBs - but they still use HD channels as a differentiation. Sky News HD being on a higher plan is a particular annoyance.

No not necessarily. It's going to be interesting what they do but Simulcasts in SD may be stopping and smaller channels will still be SD but in dvbs2 rather than DVBS.

BBC mux is and has to be dvbs for nightlight otherwise the notice would be pointless.

What prevents legacy older sky boxes receiving sone channels is not that they are in SD but primarily they are nit in DVBS. DVBS2 is nit supported on older equipment but one example the other way round us Channel 4 London in hd on 11127V. That us MPEG4/HD/DVBS and older equipment will not get thus either.

Older equipment will only get channels that are both MPEG2 and DVBS. But nothing to stop the SD channels running on DVBS2. If they do you need hd capable kit to receive them.

Hope that helps.

Will keep an eye on 10893H. If anything changes will let you know.
