Yes yes yes. Radio back please.
BBC Alba is a disgraceful waste of money for narrow political aims. Its output is pitifully weak (mostly Irish music) compared with S4C (which is itself a disgraceful waste etc). Not worth one radio station let alone 10

This is a considerable downgrade on the existing service where BBC HD carries BBC2 programmes which benefit from HD and supplement them with HD items from elsewhere such as BBC3/4 - often at alternative viewing times.
The cost savings can't be great and it is galling to lose service when money continues to be poured into BBC Alba showing bagpipe music to a handful of viewers. This panders to a Scottish nationalist agenda not supported by most residents of UK or of Scotland.
To those Freesat users suffering from poor regional offerings (eg too much rugby in Wales, no ITV HD in Scotland) I strongly recommend the simple trick of using an alternative postcode in your Freesat box.

Are you sure about your interpretation of Yellow and Green coverage?
Yellow = good
Green = possible
PS Many thanks for all your sterling efforts here (and elsewhere)
