"We’re sorry to announce that All 4 and 4HD will be leaving Freesat on
Thursday 22nd February, 2018.

Channel 4 is still available in standard definition, but any recordings
you have scheduled for 4HD will need to be re-set in SD (via channel 104).

E4, More 4, 4seven and Film4 remain unaffected and can be accessed via
the TV guide as usual, but the rollback guide and catch-up TV for all of
the Channel 4 channels will no longer be available via your Freesat box.

For 2 or 3 days now Ch 4 HD has had at most 5 days on Freesat EPG. This
might be coincidental, as it was like that a couple of weeks ago.
There isn't usually much on Ch 4 itself, but I'm glad that Film 4 is staying
as there are a few films that don't appear elsewhere.

Can we take it this means there is no threat to Freeview HD?

manually tuning to a channel just to get the HD variant of an SD channel has
to be more effort than it's worth, surely?

Good grief no. SD is unwatchable.

SD is not that bad, but HD is much better.

This seems like going backwards rather does it not? I thought the future was
hd. maybe since the programs are often so bad they hardly need hd!
