From 18th June 2008 Digital Dividend Sale: possible services | 4G mobile | ukfree.tv - 10 years of independent, free digital TV advice
"Which new services can be run in these channels?
Ofcom will allow bids for the spectrum to be in blocks of 8MHz and 5MHz. This could mean that some allocations will no longer align to the traditional channel number boundaries.
...

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.
