Has anyone seen their BBC ONE (Scotland or Wales only) or BBC TWO (England only) swap locations with the HD stream on the Sky EPG today? 3, 4, CBBC and CBeebies have swapped from last night's positions, but weren't the ONE and TWO nations supposed to move today too?

I did wonder whether they were waiting for the BBC News simulcast to finish, but perhaps the timing of these things are in the control of the platform rather than the broadcaster.

Might be worth rebooting your box, it might need a 'kick' to make it realise the EPG mapping has changed ?

The other channels swapped while the STB was in use this morning without a problem - but I've just tried a reboot and BBC Two HD is still on 142.

Maybe do a forced update of the box?

I'm on the latest version available on the DR stream: it was automatically rolled back last week.

BBC One Scotland HD is now on 101 in Sky here.

Presumably that'll be BBC Two HD on 102 in England now?

Yes . . .

Although the numbering of my favourites looks rather odd . . . and I do hope they standardise the way the channels are named. Either have 'CAPITALS' or 'Sentence Case', not a mixture of the two.

What's the reasoning behind BBC News HD not going on 503?

It will do in January next year.

Regarding BBC News HD, we have decided to delay the swapping with the SD channel until after the Christmas change freeze, ie, January 2014, in order to avoid non-essential technical work that could impact the availability of our existing SD BBC News channel whilst it is covering a major news story.

Are they only expecting a major news story during the Christmas period then ? Confused

I imagine it's to do with the Nelson Mandela story at the moment and they're waiting for all that to die down rather than expecting a big story.
