Sky Digital Channel shuffle

Toytowners with Sky Digiboxes (both with and without Sky subscription) should be aware that between 4am and 5:30am tomorrow morning (February 28) there will be a major re-numbering and re-ordering of all TV channels on this platform. This is the second stage of the "EPG shuffle" planned last year reflecting the increased number of channels now available. The first stage was executed last month when most (all?) Digiboxes received new software splitting the TV Guide over 2 pages. Many primetime channels such as BBC and ITV will not move, but many minor channels will be totally renumbered and re-located. ALL radio channels will be renumbered and will now have 4-digit numbers. This change ONLY affects viewers using Sky Digiboxes or Sky+ systems.

Anyone using TiVo systems should be aware that this re-shuffle will prohibit future recording of radio channels as TiVo cannot deal with 4-digit channel numbers. We can also provide advice on a workaround for this problem.

Oh look at that! I have friends at Bavaria Satellite. ;-)
Are they actual friends of paid friends (joke!!)

Hallo!

Will it screw up my sky+ recording - probably or?

Thanks!

Chris

Theoretically, no, as planned recordings will be automatically re-assigned with the new channel numbers. However, with Sky, one can ever be sure

Thanks, you guys are great btw!

We just switched our subscription to you...

Best regards, Chris
