Does anyone know if there's any plans in the medium to long term to do something similar on Freeview. I thought I'd spotted the equivalent of the Freesat channel 799 screen tucked away on Freeview recently.
Obviously this couldn't happen until PSB3 becomes fully regionalised to support local BBC One HD in the English regions. Once that has been completed there may be a case for rolling out a version of Nightlight so that PSB1 effectively only contains variations for the nations. I assume that would also make it easier for PSB1 to upgrade from DVB-T to DVB-T2 at some point in the future, even if at least one BBC SD channel had to move over to PSB2 to provide a limited service for older devices.
