iceman

The BBC has added all of its regional services to the Sky Digital line up this morning. This includes BBC One and BBC Two (101 and 102), which should now be labeled as your regionalised BBC channels. Other BBC One and Two regions from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland are now also available on the Sky EPG between 941 and 962. Also from today, BBC One channels will sport a new on screen ident informing viewers' which regional service you have switched on to. These 'DOGs' will however be removed later on tonight according to the BBC website. They have only been added for testing purposes.

And the good news is anyone who has an FTV card will get their correct BBC1 at position 101. So you don't have to subscribe to $ly just yet.

Can also confirm that this works on both old (light blue) and new (dark blue) cards. Both cards are also still working on ITV/C4/five at the moment. Long may they continue.
