So that definitely won't be changing.I suspected that was always going to be the case after a short while. I think it was just to emphasise the change of for the first few weeks for people channel surfing.

Sky Mix SD at 12070 H (Ireland) and 12148 H (United Kingdom) has ended. Sky Mix now only in HD on and off the EPG on satellite.

Don't seem to have ended quite yet, got the Ireland version on right now via Manual Tuning on My Q box...

Apparently it's easy to pick up across Europe, whereas the HD version is in the UK/RoI spotbeam.

Yeah looks like the article has been updated since I read it earlier. Either the original removal was premature or something still needed it (it isn't being picked up and rebroadcast on Freeview or something?)

I find it odd that Sky have this practice, I would've thought in this multi-channel / digital / streaming age that they'd keep the DOG on their channels on permanently like Sky Sports & Sky News.

I think the idea is that they don't give viewers of entertainment content a worse picture than what they'd get via streaming (via Sky or elsewhere).
Of course, there's still the small matter of advert breaks which continue to worsen the experience... guess that's a harder problem to solve.
On live content it's pretty normal for the screen to be covered in stuff so it'd be a bit weird if they didn't add a logo to it.

Considering how small Sky have made their DOGs, I can't see how it'd worsen the entertainment offering. They keep them alive on Challenge and formerly Pick. Sky's ad breaks have got to be the worst.
