Channel 4 HD / SD

New to 360 Box. Guide says 'We have replaced SD channels with HD channels'. Channel 4 still has SD on 104, with HD still way down the list. Is there any reason for this. BBC1 appears to moved HD to 101

Re: Channel 4 HD / SD

Channel 4 SD is split into several regions for advertising purposes. In these regions the channel remains on 104 as per OFCOM rules (the regional variant must occupy the lowest EPG number).

Channel 4HD carries London targeted advertising.

So, VMs London region headends carry Channel 4HD on 104. The rest of the UK has Channel 4HD on 141.

Until Channel 4 decide to change this, it will remain as it is.

Although on 360 you can use profiles to set up a custom channel list for each profile and put that in any order you want.
