Hi
I am keen to move to Freesat but am an avid rugby watcher and currently I am able to watch the Magners league on either S4C or BBC2 Wales. However, it appears that BBC 2 Wales is not available on freesat. Is this correct?

Terry Evans - S4C and BBC2 Wales are both on Freesat. I've double checked this on my Technisat "Freesat"receiver Just now.

Freesat setup with a Welsh postcode:
102 = BBC2 Wales
104 = S4C
If Freesat is not setup with a Welsh postcode then:
971 = BBC2 Wales
120 = S4C

BBC2 analogue closes down first, then BBC1, ITV (or STV in Scotland) and Channel 4 two weeks later.
It sounds like you where viewing BBC2 analogue and not BBC2 digital.
All the BBC channels are on the same multiplex, so if you can get BBC3, BBC News etc you can get BBC2 digital.

P.S.
BBC2 analogue closed down on 8/06/2011 from the Glasgow transmitter, see digital switchover date | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice date may be different if you are getting your TV from a different transmitter. (RH163LB)

George: If you are watching the analogue channels, BBC2 was switched off on 6th July 2011 and replaced by a high power digital multiplex which carries all the BBC channels. The remaining analogue signals will be switched off at Sudbury on Wednesday, 20th July 2011 and replaced by mux D3+4 ( ITV1&2, C4, C5 etc) and mux BBCB which carries HD channels. To continue watching TV you will need a Freeview box or a TV with an in-built digital tuner. If the problem is loss of BBC2 on a digital receiver you will need to do a factory reset to clear the channel list of all old data then do a scan for channels which should find and store the channels on the current frequency.
