After a lot of talk, promises and delays, 13 years after launching BBC One HD, the service will become fully regionalised.
If you’re in England, this means BBC One HD will appear on channel 101. The SD version will end.
If you’re in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, the SD copy, already relegated down the channel list will close – the HD copy already runs on 101 on Sky+HD, Sky Q and Freesat HD/4K.
Freesat will update the afternoon before Sky updates, due to the way the two platforms interact. This also ensures older Freesat boxes that update overnight will be correctly configured in time before the SD regions are turned off.
Schedule
