    These are all in HD, so not receivable on non-HD receivers. Am I right? Tried on my SL65, frequency has no signal for me.

    Frequency is dead here too on a HD box. I've tried both the SR 29500 mentioned above, and the standard 27500, but both variants showing no signal.

    Gah. Just edited the tp again. It was set as a standard DVB tp, I had to change it to S2 with FEC 3/4 and Pilot Off.

    ID's are 3815-3819, and still currently free (though flagged as encrypted)

    Wasn't Sky box office open for a period too last year on non Sky receiver only with NASN too, I think it is a ply to coax satellite enthusiasts who have the cash usually to subscribe, I would subscribe to alot of things if I was given a proper taste of what it was about.

    They were available only on HD receivers. However, I'm getting nothing now, except an onscreen banner suggesting the channels aren't running or else scrambled.

    This makes a lot of sence though, and I could see it coming a mile off.
    Movies, with the exception of direct-to-video/dvd/tv, are the only guarenteed source of HD content.

    If Sky dropped the pointless SD versions of Sky Screen 1/2 HD, the Premier +1 channel and a few more of the Box Office channels, they could reorder the EPG and slot in the HD versions of the movie channels right beside their SD versions, and save a bit more bandwidth for a Sky2 HD (which is on my wishlist) and some other channels. Also on my wishlist.. all the available Symbol and FEC rates the box can tune to, being on the Add Channels page.

    On a related note.. maybe the launch of the new channels will coincide with the release of the new SkyHD EPG.. which might just fix the annoying issue of the box crashing at 21:02 every Tuesday, causing me to lose my recording of SG Atlantis >..<
