- The Sky UK satellite channel list may change at short or no notice.
- Regional variations may apply.
- Sky Q and Sky+HD receivers have access to the same channel list. Older Sky satellite receivers can no longer access the majority of channels due to technical changes to the way TV services are broadcast.
- Your local version of BBC One is found on channel 101, not in the 850-870 range. The local version of BBC One is set using the postcode attached to your viewing card. However, this may differ to the version of BBC One you can receive via Freeview or other platform. Your postcode is based on the information Sky holds about you.
- The above listing is reviewed on a monthly basis.
- Subscribers requiring further support should visit the Sky TV help centre.
