According to reports, from the 1st February 2011, Sky will be changing the channel line up on Sky HD boxes.
Sky are reportably swapping the Standard Definition (SD) channel numbers with high definition (HD) channel numbers on 1 Feb 2011 for "residential viewers with an HD set top box and a subscription to one or more HD television channels distributed by Sky".
So, for example:
Sky1 HD will be listed at channel number 106 and Sky1 SD will be listed at channel number 170
and probably (although not confirmed)
401 Sky sports 1HD so sky sports 1sd moves to 408.
402 Sky sports 2HD so sky sports 2sd moves to 409.
403 Sky sports 3HD so sky sports 3sd moves to 418.
404 Sky sports 4HD so sky sports 3sd moves to 454.
405 Sky sportsNewsHD so sky sportsnews sd moves to 455.

Sky to shuffle entertainment channel numbers in 2011
According to reports, Sky has plans to reshuffle its entertainment channel lineup from next year, including the rebranding of Living TV and arrival of new channel Sky Atlantic.
From early 2011, Sky Atlantic will launch exclusively on Sky to host content from the satellite broadcaster's recent multi-million pound deal with US studio HBO.
After acquiring The Living TV Group from Virgin Media in June, Sky has announced that the Living channel will be rebranded as Sky Living from next year.
The two channels plus Sky1 will appear side-by-side on the front page of Sky's electronic programme guide (EPG).
Sky 1 will continue on channel 106, Sky Living (the former Living) will move up the guide to 107 while the new Sky Atlantic will take 108. The slots are currently occupied by Sky 1 and sister channels Sky 2 and Sky 3.
Sky1, Sky Living and Sky Atlantic will be available to all existing Sky customers at no extra charge as part of the basic subscription package.

Sky Real Lives shuts down and stops broadcasting
Sky Real Lives shuts down and stops broadcasting
Sky has today closed down the Sky Real Lives portfolio of channels and reallocated the budget to Sky1 and Sky2.
As of 5.59am this morning, Sky Real Lives and Sky Real Lives 2 ceased broadcasting on the digital satellite platform. Sky Real Lives HD and Sky Real Lives +1 have also shut down.
Launched three years ago to replace Sky Travel, Sky Real Lives produced a range of real-life programmes aimed at women in the 35 to 54 age range.
However, Sky has decided that the channel's audience can be "better served" by allocating the programming budget to the main Sky1 and Sky2 channels.
"By focusing content investment on those channels which offer greater reach and exposure, we believe we can better meet customer demands," said head of Sky Real Lives Barbara Gibbon.
"There will be no compromise on screen, nor in satisfying Sky Real Lives viewers, who'll continue to enjoy a rich diversity of high-quality pay-TV programming."
Speculation is already mounting about what will happen with the vacant slots on Sky's programming guide.
Possible options include the expected launch of Living HD, after Sky recently acquired the Living channel operator Virgin Media Television.
