[Franklin]

The TV guide changes, go to this link for a demo. You usually get a letter from sky about 7 days before the change to let you know. they are upgrading about 20,000 boxes a week so it will also bepend on how long you have had SKY+ HD for as well, as they are doing it in order of subscription
