Daft and highly annoying in my opinion, BBC4 is one of my favourite channels and although I am interested in locally made content they can continue to put it on BBC1 and BBC2 as far as I'm concerned. They should just merge this new channel with Alba as it would mean less repeats and would be cheaper to run using existing space.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
Well there is already a BBC 1 & 2 Scotland that does show different programs and a different schedule to BBC 1 & 2, so don't really think there is a need for it.

No, there are simply stating that when BBC Scotland and BBC Scotland HD launch then BBC4 may need to move on the EPG. Nothing was mentioned about BBC4 Scotland at all.

I don't think anybody ever mentioned BBC4 Scotland

Five are FTA and five are pay along with all HD variants.

Thanks for explaining.
I wondered if they were bringing back seperate feeds for the nations as BBC Choice/three used to be. In fact, moving this facility to BBC2 is what enabled BBC2 to start showing different content to the nations.

Speaking of s4C - Does anybody know if there are plans for s4c HD on VirginMedia? I find it incredible that in 2018 - s4cHD is available for free if you have a satellite dish but not on Virgin Media.

Indeed there is absolutely no proof that Virgin are short of capacity.

BBC Alba is a Gaelic channel, isn't it? For that reason alone, I doubt the the BBC or their viewers would want the two merged.

You yourself took part in the thread that showed that there was only space for four more HD channels (using current configuration).

Spiderplant says that more space can be created. I'm not sure why this is a big deal for you. What are you trying to prove?
There must be something we are not understanding, so could you clarify your reasoning, please?

Yeah it is. The way I see it is it's a channel aimed at Scottish viewers, as is this BBC Scotland channel, they are pretty much competing for the same audience (in theory me).

Not really as one is a channel for the 10 Gaelic speakers in Scotland and the other will give more local news to the rest of the population who speak English

Still only 1.20% of the population so no real point in having it, were bullied by the Scottish Nasty party to have this
