Broadband TV News reports that from February 1, 2011, the satellite broadcaster will run both a "Standard Bouquet" and an "HD Swap Bouquet," allowing HD simulcast channels to take the EPG number of their SD counterpart.

The swap bouquet will be offered to customers subscribing to one or more HD channels; some HD channels will be offered an opt-out from the service to take account of regional variations (for example, BBC One HD currently airs a holder slide while local news is broadcast).

That's a great idea.
A Sly HD box only allows you to save 50 favourits, including radio stations.
This should free up the spaces taken by the duplicate channels, to allow you to save more different channels.
As well as making it easier to both watch and set recordings to always be from the HD versions of channels.
Thanks for the good news nao! :thumbup2:
