@skyhd on Twitter seems to think the EPG was supposed to change at midnight, meanwhile a video has gone up here: http://tv.sky.com/sky-channel-swap

There was some talk about that on DS. Apparently they apologised for misinforming and said it'd be an overnight thing.

Living channels and Challenge have gone off air (didn't see any of them close as I was watching BBC HD)

A caption screen is showing on Living HD:

Manually tuning the transponder with the Living/Challenge channels on is just coming up 'No signal found' (11.739 V 27.5 2/3).

It cut off to technical fault screen in the middle of a programme promo.

Could it be that they are moving physically as well as on the EPG, but Living HD isn't - hence the caption.

Living Loves is off-air too, when it would normally have a "back at 3pm" caption.

Looks like it could be a transponder move. Living HD will still be on as it is on a different tansponder from the other Living/Challenge channels.

Classy!

Reminds me of the Hallmark > Universal switch-over, which was done with similar aplomb from what I recall.

I assume on Virgin Media the same caption is up on Living SD and there's a similar one on Challenge?
