- HD channels will move from LCNs 50 - 54 to LCNs 101 onward.
- Adult channels will move from LCNs 90-100 to LCN 171 onward.
Assuming you may not be interested in the Adult channels (!), only equipment with a high defintion tuner need be retuned this time. As Sky lost its battle not to have its News station moved, there is likely to be a further adjustment to News and Children's stations at some point in the future. In the meantime, here is the situation resulting from the September and the October changes.
