BBC One Scotland starts in High Definition, Monday 14 January 2013
Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV If you live in Scotland, and have Freeview HD, channel 101 will switch on Monday from being the "national service without news" to the full-blown BBC One Scotland service in HD.
If you live in the Scottish Borders and use the Caldbeck or Selkirk transmitter groups, you might have to do a "first time install" to get BBC One Scotland HD.
Again (if you live in Scotland) - Freesat (on 108) and Freesat-from-Sky (on 143) viewers will find the Scottish schedule automatically from Monday.
On satellite, the new BBC One Scotland (and Wales) services are on the BBC DSat8 transponder, which is:
ASTRA 1N, transponder 61 - 11023MHz Horizontal DVB-S2 23000-2/3 8PSK
BBC One regions by population.

Will we get this in England our BBC HD on 101 Freesat and Freeview?

David: No, because BBC Scotland is only available in Scotland.

David: No. In England and Wales, BBC One HD will continue to be the London-without-regional-news version that has been broadcast up to now.
101 on Freesat will continue to be BBC One in SD, as will channel 1 on Freeview.

BBC 1 HD is on 976 on the Sky EPG in NI.
I don't think BBC 1 NI HD is currently available to satellite viewers in the rest of the UK ?
Maybe someone could confirm.

I am sorry to hear this news. For it means I will no longer be able to access the 'national service' on Freeview, when BBC Scotland decide to opt out. Losing radio stations to accommodate a Gaelic TV channel was bad enough. It really adds up to a diminution of choice.
