When BBC First launches on the Drama & Lifestyle tier on August 3rd it will be available on Channel 214 in standard definition and Channel 117 in HD.
This will result in some other channel changes.
As from yesterday UKTV channel is now only available in SD, but it moves to the Essentials package for all subscribers. UKTV shows set to series link will need to be reset.
BIO Channel, currently on Channel 117 will move to Channel 133 (series link will still operate without needing a new setup).
From the 24th July Foxtel will also be offering a sample of BBC First programming.

Just had all my excess channel packs removed and gone back to Essentials; such a rebel!
we need the two ronnies and other british sitcoms as you aware that fox classics showing some of those shows I gather they will stay put
Getting rid of UKTV HD is BS. Foxtel needs more of their channels available in HD, not less.
Foxtel continue to replace existing HD channels with new ones instead of purchasing additional transponders. This seriously reduces the need to be a conventional STV subscriber as HD channels are one of the few things that make it unique from IPTV alternatives.
@ jiekeoci – if you have HD then it is as David wrote, otherwise, if you do not have HD you are right.
Thanks Andrew.
Hi David shouldn’t the HD channel be 214 and the Standard channel be 117?
This proves that Foxtel can’t or won’t put more HD channels in but replace old HD channels with the ones… Shame..
