What provision is there for the special Welsh and Scottish national channels on Freeview?
These channels are transmitted on Freeview but only in the respective countries. In some cases normal channels are omitted in order to make space for national channels, to the annoyance of some viewers. In some cases channel numbers in Wales and Scotland differ from those in England because of the presence of the national channels. BBC1 and BBC2 have national variations in Scotland and Wales. However, the situation in Wales is somewhat complex and according to reports very much at odds with what the majority of viewers would prefer. Apparently BBC2W is broadcast on Freeview in Wales instead of BBC2, and it is to both BBC2 in England and analogue BBC2 Wales. A complete list of Freeview channels, including the Welsh and Scottish national channels, is available on this page of the Digital Spy web site (external link verified May-06).
