Also the BBC Scotland broadcasting BBC Two thing may not happen on July 31st after all as my Freeview TV Set EPG says "This is BBC Scotland" and the listings for BBC Scotland on the BBC web site says that BBC Scotland will just join up with BBC Two when BBC Two joins BBC News overnights.

They'd be better showing This Is BBC Scotland as it's better for the transmission of other channels on the relevant multiplex.
When Prince Phillip died and all the BBC channels started showing the same thing they ended up taking some channels off-air to stop the ill-affects of what happens when all channels show the same thing on a multiplex. At least that was what I heard from some techy folk, who are more techy than me, at the time.
Not that this is really a problem as BBC Scotland channel doesn't have the ten zillion regional variations of BBC1 which was part of the problem on some platforms at that time.
Anyways I'm blabbing in my own wee world offtopic. Ignore me.

They do for people that don't see things the first time around, or aren't techy, or have internet.
I know many people that have discovered shows a long time past original transmission, and can't use on-demand.
Everyone uses TVs differently.
