Dear Mr McEwan



Thank you for your email.



We can confirm we will launch STV HD on satellite on Monday 28th April 2014.



The new service will be available for Sky HD subscribers in Glasgow and the West on channel 103, and Sky channel 178 in other areas. Freesat viewers will be able to access STV HD on channel 119.



There will be only one HD feed.



Thank you again for taking the time to get in touch



Kind Regards

Nothing ? You'll still get STV HD, but on Ch 178.

I think he's meaning that STV North viewers won't have their own separate feed. But its the exact same on Virgin Media, channel 113 is STV West HD for the whole of Scotland and no one has seemed to moan about it...

.....and the same here in England for BBC 1 and some ITV regions. Welcome to world of mis aligned EPGs, and limited HD regions !

Oh I am sure you would feel exactly the same if all we got was a North HD programme for the whole of Scotland.

Actually no, I'd make do with what I had on 103. You should be grateful they are putting a HD feed on Sky...
