Don’t know if you have seen the Freesat EPG in Scotland but what a waste of good numbers
1-5 in usual spots
106 BBC Scotland HD
107 BBC Four HD
108 BBC Scotland SD
109 BBC Alba
110 BBC One SD
111 STV HD
Within the first 11 channels 3 are duplicates due to SD/HD

I have. Sky has a deal with STV for the microregions of STV HD as far as I recall (as part of a wider deal), so that's why STV HD hasn't swapped out on Freesat like ITV HD has. No idea when that deal expires, maybe it has even been renegotiated as Sky announced a content deal with STV just the other day (it didn't seem long since they last did).
108 is HD outside Scotland (for thise with HD equipment) and those SD channels are in the 160s/170s in other parts if the UK. They are just using numbers already allocated. If it were me I'd shift the SD swap-outs for all broadcasters down to the bottom of 180s/190s on Freesat and leave the numbers blank in certain regions.
