HD channels and AJs list

[Grover2000]

HD channels seem to be disappearing from AJs list. Is Sly moving away from HD channels?

No, $ky has updated it's HD boxes with a new firmware which contains a new codec for HD channels, the openbox/skybox and more importantly the 'servers' can't decrypt this codec. So as HD channels are moved over to this new codec they become unavailable, so AJ and Sattv5 have just deleted the HD channels and replaced them with their SD variant.

Due to the fact that $ky SD boxes are still in use and the majority of these older boxes can't accept this new codec the SD channels should be with us for sometime, most probably until $ky get around to replacing all the older boxes.
