From what I can tell from the BBC blog, on Sky, BBC ONE NI HD will automatically replace BBC ONE HD at 143, with BBC ONE HD moving in to 900s.

Looking at KingofSat and the settings for the HD channels, I guess we won't be able to 'add channels' to get the NI feed elsewhere in the UK - unless anyone else knows different?


Has the frequency been put on KingofSat yet? Nothing has been updated on Lyngsat yet.

Sky's add channels only allows symbol rates of 22 and 27.5 - not 23 as needed for BBC ONE HD.

I guess we'll see tomorrow if it makes it into the EPG elsewhere, but I'm not holding out any hope!

I lost faith in those kind of thoughts, ooh, well over a decade ago.

Just seen a video of BBC One NI's analogue send-off a Twitter user has uploaded via the Telly app, and I'm blown away. The time, effort and love given by the BBC Northern Ireland Presentation department in producing a sequence with accurate and clear information and attention to detail is something worthy of high respect and endless appreciation.

I've tried to embed the Telly app clip in a post here, but it won't display. For those interested, it's been uploaded by @garethjmurtagh and has the BBC One NI off-air signal alongside Page 100 of Ceefax.

HD boxes can, as when BBC One HD from DVB-S to DVB-S2, my box wouldn't pick it up so I had to add it via other channels. Also managed to get STV HD on it as well. Although I can't record from it.

No, they can't. Just as we couldn't manually add the BBC Olympic HD streams before they got EPG slots.

I'm sure it wouldn't take much for Sky to add it as a firmware upgrade, but then there's not much reason for them to do it either.

All great, but where did that BBC Northern Ireland logo come from? - I had not seen it before and it does not work.

As someone on Twitter said, this so should have been done for every region's switch-off.

A nice idea but most other regions didn't have a single switch off. Areas like Westcountry and Meridian had 3 or 4
