Re: Freeview changes
 
I'd be very surprised if there were any "major" changes on Freeview. A lot of tiresome changes that mean everyone has to rescan seems more likely.

That's not free, the reason Shop On TV etc are only available outside Wales is because Wales has E4+1 on SDN. The D3&4 slot, normally used for E4+1, is occupied by S4C in Wales. (from memory)
