Pain in the ARSE. I've got a posh touchscreen remote with buttons for my favourite channels. Now they've moved some of the sodding channels so I've got to reprogram the bloody remote.

if the story they told was true then they would of done this, but they havnt so its clear they are just pushing there own channels closer!

Apparently because BBC, ITV & etc don't want them to. They'd rather their 'standard def' channels were kept on 101-105. I assume if the channels move around they move around for everyone - you wouldn't get BBC 1 on 101 on a standard Sky box and BBC 1 HD being on 101 on a Sky HD box. So if they 'let go' on 101-105 as SD channels, they aren't top of the EPG on standard SD sky boxes any more...

They are 101-105 on Virgin and Freeview too. Keeping the numbers consistent is the best policy.
