If S4C was going to go to BBCA D3&4 probably wouldn't have been reconfigured in my opinion. Unless the reconfiguration isn't about S4C but something about ITV's or Channel 4's DTT strategy, and more likely the former if that's the case since they own SDN/COM4.
I think some BBC rules regarding BBCA's use would need to change for to S4C to use it anyway, and as far as I'm aware they haven't.

Re: Freeview changes
Freeview has confirmed that Together +1 (2am to 6am) is set to close on Wednesday on Freeview Channel 92.
When viewers retune Together +1 will appear on Freeview Channel 790.
Together +1 do timeshare with That's 60s right now.
A) That's 60s may become 24/7.
B) That's 70s may launch and broadcasting from 2am to 6am.

No it's not. It's been on D3&4 for ages.

You sure you didn't mean to type a different C4 channel?

Re: Freeview changes
Sorry I did think E4 +1 was on SDN.
My source did only say: E4+1 changes tomorrow.
kjhskj75 did post on DS Forum that E4+1 "Reduction in coverage".
As E4 +1 is on D3&4 right now so E4 +1 is moving to BBC B (Only on Freeview HD) or SDN (Old Quest slot)
---------- Post added at 18:42 ---------- Previous post was at 17:39 ----------
Changes on Freeview from January 25th:
*E4+1 on Channel 30 will be moving from D3&4 to a unknown mux - on Reduction to coverage so I think E4 +1 will move to BBC B (E4 +1 will only appear if you can get ITV1 HD) or SDN (Quest old slot)
*Together TV +1 will not close now on Channel 92.

*Freeview web site says E4+1 will be "Reduction in coverage" from today - so that may mean E4 +1 is moving to that new slot on D3&4 and will no longer broadcast in Wales or moving to BBC B who has got 11.8M/bs doing nothing.

Re: Freeview changes
Together TV +1 has moved from COM5 to COM6 and it broadcasting hours has move from 2am to 6am to 5am to 8am. But stays on Channel 92.
And is now timesharing with Jewellery Maker and PBS.
Together TV +1 old COM5 slot has now moved to Channel 790.
That's 60s or That's TV UK now 24 hours? (To be confirmed)
---------- Post added at 13:41 ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 ----------
A Media Boy UK Source has just confirmed that E4 +1 is NO LONGER available to Freeview Viewers in Wales.
So the new UK Wide channel will launch/move soon on/to D3&4.
---------- Post added at 13:52 ---------- Previous post was at 13:41 ----------
RUMOUR:
I have seen unconfirm rumour that E4 +1 may have just moved to SDN in Wales (Swapping with E4) so GREAT! movies action is not coming to Wales on Freeview after all.
---------- Post added at 15:50 ---------- Previous post was at 13:52 ----------
Freeview - Scotland, England and Northern Ireland Update:
*E4 +1 is still on D3&4.
*My Source (And Mike aka a516digital) feels it ITV's turn to fill the next available slot on D3&4 - so it could be ITVBe using that new slot soon.
Freeview - Wales Update:
*E4 +1 has moved from D3&4 to SDN.

Update:
Both GREAT! Romance and GREAT! tv are broadcasting from the local mux.
Only GREAT! movies and GREAT! movies action is not broadcasting on local Mux - they are broadcasting from COM4 or COM6.
I now think maybe Narrative are set to axe GREAT! tv on Freeview so that GREAT! movies or GREAT! movies action can move to Local mux or OFCOM is posting mis information again.
