Yep - and it's the fact that there is just one all-England version of BBC One HD that is preventing Freesat users in England from getting an HD channel in EPG slot 101. Until the BBC can provide the correct regional variations for BBC One in London, Northwest, North, etc etc etc then there will be no change.

For the same reason, here in Scotland we are denied BBC Two HD in EPG slot 102. BBC Two Scotland in SD remains at 102 and BBC Two HD, which is a single London-controlled version of the channel with no English regional opt outs, is on 109.

To be honest I'd welcome the London version of BBC Two HD in slot 102 here in Scotland. Most of the opt-out programming on BBC Two Scotland is crud beyond words. Newsnight Scotland has to be seen to be believed.
