P Pierce: All 4 is a catchup/on demand service which is available as an app on various TV, boxes and sticks rather than a . It won't be on a +/HD box as those don't support apps. If you have Sky Q or Sky Glass it should be found under the Apps heading somewhere if it is available.

Chris:

I suspect that you may have inadvertently not scrolled down the page far enough. The HD are listed first, and their numbering starts at 101 on .
SD numbering on Freeview (further down the page) starts from 1.
The channels are listed in Alphabetical order although that can change with the options.
