Set-top box change could see viewers lose BBC channels next month

An incoming change for TV set-top boxes could see viewers lose BBC channels next month. TV fans are being warned the corporation is to switch off its SD channels and replace them with HD only.

Channels will disappear from SD-only set-top boxes as a result. Freesat viewers with devices which don't support HD risk losing BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three and BBC Four.

Local programming will migrate between January and February this year. The channels will then disappear by next year, reports CoventryLive. There is a range of HD-enabled satellite devices already available from many high-street retailers.
