Sky Mix replacing Pick

[stereohaven]

With Sky launching Sky Mix to replace Pick, I understand it will be in HD on Freesat, SD on Freeview.

Does anyone know if we will get the HD version or SD version when using IP delivery?

For anyone interested, Sky Mix and Sky Arts are swapping channel numbers on Freeview at launch.

Details here for anyone interested: Sky launching new Freeview channel 

Due to launch at 11 AM on the 18th October.

I would like to hope it would be the HD version as multiplex issues wouldn't be related to IP mode I would assume.

This is replacing Sky Pick I understand.

I bet its in sd

I also think it's likely to be SD, given that the other 2 Sky free to air channels (Sky Arts and Sky News) are SD over IP.

I guess it depends if it appears on Freesat in HD. If it does then there must be a strong possibility it will be HD over IP.

Only if bt want to do the deal for it which i would say is highly unlikely on current form

Looks like. No HD SKY MIX.  on FREEVIEW or BTTV Iptv .

Are you really suprised ?

[Weerab1983]

I'm not surprised with Freeview due to frequencies etc but I had a bit of hope through channels delivered via IPTV technology as it should be doable. 

Let's see how long it takes BT to update the IP channels listing as CITV is still on it...2024 perhaps

Bt have not added any new channels since there iptv freeview launch  so i never saw them adding sky mix hd too it.
