Anyone who watches TV through a set-top box has been warned that they could face losing access to BBC channels in the near future.
The BBC is set to upgrade all its channels to HD (high definition) on satellite by April, including BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Parliament and the BBC Red Button channel. The broadcaster will therefore be closing the SD (standard definition) versions of its channels, meaning that these will disappear from SD-only set-top boxes.
If you are a Freesat viewer with a device that doesn't support HD, you risk being left unable to watch BBC One, Two, Three and Four once the changes have been made. You will need to purchase an HD-enabled satellite device to continue watching the channels, which are available from many high-street retailers, CoventryLive reports.
