Yup SS1 HD gone too

Use Italia as an example. Same system and sd still working after a year.

Italia lost HD in November '13 so its been 7 months. They have been blocking SD Primafila (their box office) channels over the last couple of months though. Not touched 'normal' Sly Italia SD or other SD (Eg. Fox Sports) yet so fingers crossed.

As I understand it the chipset on the bog standard sky SD box is not able to deal with the new encryption system. As such the SD channels cannot be turned off until all sky customers are upgraded to HD boxes. This relates to somewhere between 4 and 6 million boxes. As such SD channels will not be disappearing anytime soon

So are you saying sd will definitely disappear but will take time because all sly customers need their box changing?

Ok, so where do i go from there? when that happens will providers find a solution or will the skybox team find a fix?

Don't think there's a skybox team or a miracle. Best bet is cable or go motorised simples.

But a motorised dish wont get you skysports instead will give you a different language

Sky sports is broadcast in English so sky Germany etc you can change audio to English. Same with films like Sky Italia a lot are filmed in USA or England hence you can change language to English.

As you see it is how it is. Sky Italia have been unable to shut down SD for the same reason. So enjoy the next 12 to 24 months of SD and maybe in the meantime a smart programmer will figure a solution
