The channel was previously known as Sky Two from 2005 to 2020. The brand name and format had earlier been used for a similar service which broadcast on analogue platforms for a year from 1996.[citation needed] Whereas Sky One had been available in HD since 2006, Sky Two has always been exclusively available in standard definition.[citation needed]
On 27 August 2020, the service adopted its current branding. Sky Replay now serves as a sister channel to Sky Max and Sky Witness; broadcasting repeats of programmes aired on those channels.
