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.

Hi I live in the Scottish borders but much prefer BBC 1 HD England when the origional switch over happened in January we kept getting a message come up asking us if we wanted to retune to BBC 1 Scotland my wife and I were carefull to say no each time we switched on but unfourtunatly my daughter just pressed yes without looking I should say we are talking about terestrial tv I was just wondering if there was any way we could get the channel back by manually inputting the frequency hoping you can hel I dont much care for river city.

Andrew: Yes, you may be able to manually tune, but without any idea along the border you might be it isn't possible to say which transmitter in England you may have been picking up!

Andrew: In that case, no, there appear to be no English transmitters that you could pick up at your location so I don't understand where the message might have come from. I assumed that you were picking up a signal from a transmitter in England and was hoping to suggest that you attempt a manual tune on its frequency.
The Cheviot Hills would appear to mean that you won't be able to receive from Chatton. It's HD is on C39. For manual tuning, if your receiver has an option for mode it will need to be set to DVB-T2 (for HD) rather than DVB-T which is for standard definition.
