I like the choice to ditch BBC2 Scotland when Newsnight is on. Scotland splits away from the main schedule at 11pm for 'Newsnight Scotland' which means we miss excellent reportage from somewhere around the world in favour of some horrible, parochial nonsense that deserves no place in the schedules outside of 'Reporting Scotland' at 6.30pm.

But thanks to the miracle of satellite we can choose to watch BBC2 England instead and keep up with Newsnight as viewed by the other 55-odd million people in England, Wales and NI.

Actually, there's no regionalisation on BBC2 HD at the moment so it's easier, you don't have to go into the 900s to find the alternative as the single BBC2 HD stream for the whole UK is on 109.
