Default Scottish TV at the expense of the English and Welsh

I Scotland becomes a separate country how will we stop them from
benefiting from free satellite TV paid for by the English and Welsh?

In the same way you stop Ireland and France probably, i.e. by
continually broadcasting programs like X-Factor and Strictly.

I thought the stereotype was that it was the Scottish who were mean.

The problems and anomalies surrounding TV in the proposed separation of
Scotland from the UK are a relatively minor microcosm of the enormity
of the task to create its own stand alone national infrastructure.

Mr S, hasn't even begun to think it through properly, and I'll be amazed
and astounded if it happens on anything like the scale envisaged

The Northern Irish will also be paying along with the English and Welsh.

Anyway, how could the Scots prevent the rest of us from watching any
free satellite TV they start to provide?

The Freesat spot beam can be received in Nice with a 60cm dish.


Yes, but the Irish are not using 28E for their Saorsat service

Ka band with very tight beams, and interference limited by other spots.
