This means that when they're being broadcast anyone watching the HD channel gets an explanation on the screen and strange music/tweeting birds in place of the actual programme.
BBC decided it made more sense to put the BBC 1 HD on 115 and make the SD channel the go to until the news programmes also go HD.

Thankyou. It's always nice to have a good explanation.
As suspected, it's the BBC being cheap @#%&!s.
I'm not surprised though, when I worked there they were utterly obsessed with cost-cutting. So much so that now they've sold off every bit of land they owned on Wood Lane to developers and moved a large chunk of the operation up to Salford Quays.
