Maybe to 108 if the BBC ONE HD regions arrive in time to move them to channel 101. Nothing conclusive yet.

Ch157 can only be temporary, platforms have been given a year to get BBC3 into Top20 EPG position.
BBC Scotland and Alba have Top20 requirements for Scotland, so if BBC4 gets shunted to 108, the only obvious place is 113 in Scotland. However Channel4 has a Top8 requirement so 108 can't be used for BBC4 in Wales unless it's fitted in instead of E4 on 106. I'm not sure on status of 113 in Wales. Maybe the "solution" will be BBC4 on 113 in Scotland and Wales if that position is viable vacant option in Wales.
