Long overdue but from February 1st those with Sky HD will see the HD channels swap with the SD channels.

Thus Sky Sports HD1 will be on Channel 401, HD2 on 402, HD3 on 403 etc etc.

Most channels will be part of this swap but not the old terrestrials - BBC 1, ITV 1, Channel 4 and 5.

Note: This will affect Sky HD customers only.

Great news, no longer must i go to the tv guide to find sky sports 4 hd!

Is that the same channel as SKY SPORTS HD4 ?

No.

Ahhhh yes no longer will I be forever telling my dad 'Is this in HD?' when he has it on SS1. Annoys me no end!

Do you get a tingling sensation when you get in your pedantic mode. Why do you feel compelled alienate yourself in the majority of posts you make on here?

Majority ?..............i don't think so. Oh, and by the way, you have missed out the word 'to' before alienate, i think. (now i'm tingling !!)

Could you capitalise your "I's", please, when used as a personal pronoun? Ta.

Bilko, any idea why are they not going the whole hog with BBC1, ITV, C4 & C5 as well ??? seems a bit stupid when these have got their own HD channels on the Sly platform ?????

Think it's to do with regional variations on those channels, either because of regional specific programmes on BBC1 and ITV or regional specific adverts (the others and ITV). Apparently the HD channels are national (i.e. London centric) and the TV companies want the regional specific channel on the most obvious channel number - 101, 103 etc.
