True, forgot they can just move the national services to the nightlight right away. And the Nations can theoretically also just switch to the nightlight for SD viewers, because they already got HD equivalents.

Radio services started today in 10847V and 11023H
10847V
6985 Radio Scotland
6986 Radio nan Gaidheal

Unfortunately these are also in MPEG2 at the same bitrates as for the SD muxes. A missed opportunity for better quality sound - or could it be intentional so that announcements can be put on the Nightlight ones?

Incidentially the entries for the new HD services on the Freesat Test EPG were removed today.
EDIT: Scratch that, they added them again.

Curiosity question - how do people know where to look for the Freesat test channels? Is there a secret postcode that points to the test region? Or does it require specialist knowledge/equipment?
