Astra 2E - BBC Reception - Rumours about lost BBC channels available with a Sky HD subscription

In answer to a popular question seen on social media and emails sent to me:

BBC channels are not part of the Sky subscription service.

They never have been.

And for the foreseeable future will not be.

Some satellite "experts" have been suggesting to their clients that by subscribing to the Sky HD package that will bring back lost BBC channels.

As the BBC channels are not part of the Sky subscription package, do not even require a Sky viewing card, and are free to air, this is one big "myth".
