According to the BBC press release the new BBC HD channels will get a channel swap, with the exception of BBC News HD for some reason.

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.

due to Mandela funeral coverage but its swapping in the new year apparently.
It's not Mandela per se, but the BBC have a Christmas 'lock down' for technical work that is deemed 'risky' that starts about now and runs until Jan 2nd |

This is understandable as this is the only channel which is launching that doesn't have a 'closing' time. The channel swaps for the other channels will probably occur overnight tonight while they are closed. |

The article states its to avoid customers loosing the SD channel during Breaking News.

Ive just checked and BBC 2 HD in England on 102 with HD swap so all good!
Also there are reports here: http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showp...&postcount=230 and here: http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showp...&postcount=231 that BBC 1 HD in Scotland is now on 101 in Scotland with the HD swap. I dont know if BBC 1 HD Wales is on 101 in Wales with the HD swap, if someone can confirm that then please do, Im assuming that it is though as the others are now swapped. |

BBC 1 Wales HD on 101
I can confirm BBC1 Wales HD is now on 101 in Wales. All good now, just waiting for BBC News HD to channel swap to 503.

BoxNation to launch its HD channel on Saturday 8th February 2014.
It "will be available to all BoxNation subscribers on the Sky TV platform at no extra cost, providing they are already HD enabled." http://www.boxnation.com/boxing-news...ed-hd-channel/ |

I can't think of many channels that are not HD yet that have enough HD content to need the channel. |

So MGM HD is also closing meaning another less HD channel.
Wonder if it will be replaced? |
