    BBCHD is on it's own or does it replace the standard def version?

    BBC HD doesn't have a standard definition version. It is completely different to any other BBC channel.

    Re Euronews, no, the audio option on EPG203 doesn't allow you to switch. The only channel which supports multilingual is TV5, and at that it's only multilingual subtitles. There are still separate feeds for Euronews.

    Re HD, I can't see them on my EPG, so it's not like Sky, where the HD channels are listed. I would be interested to know from anyone with HD, if BBCHD is on it's own or does it replace the standard def version?

    Thanks for the reply patrickmooney:)

    Do you know what EPG number it's on if it's seperate? Are all the HD channels grouped together or mixed around the EPG?

    Whilst there are multiple channel numbers for the various languages of Euronews, they all come from the one source. It's not the case that the full video streams are sent for each language. If you tune to any of the seven variants of Euronews, the set top box is still only looking at the one video stream but will alter the audio stream depending on which channel you pick. So basically, there is 1 video stream and 7 audio streams for all 7 Euronews channels. There's no wastage of bandwidth. It's just channel numbers being used up.

    And as for BBC HD, there is no SD version of it at all.....it's HD only ONLY.
