Is it horribly abbreviated to m>mov or something, giving absolutely no indication as to what sort of channel it is?

Both Sky and Freesat have all the SD regions in the epg. Be interesting to see if the HD ones follow suit.

As far as I'm aware, BBC 1 NI HD currently isn't on either the Freesat or Sky EPGs except in NI.

Correct - BBC1NIHD is only in the NI EPG - but on Sky BBC1HD is still in the EPG along with BBC1NIHD.

So which channels are likely to be added to freesat?

BBC1-HD Scotland and BBC1-HD Wales. The issue is merely that users with Scottish and Welsh postcodes should get the channel at 119 replaced with the appropriate version. Query was only to ask if they will also appear in the epg for say English postcode users like the SD ones already do. If you are using a Scottish or Welsh postcode and can't get Astra 2F then you may need to change postcode to get BBC1-HD back.

ITV1+1 has been renamed ITV+1 Border on 112 for me, using a Sheffield post code. Still showing Granada news as you would expect.

For now but I bet ITV can't wait to drop their regional obligations and identities altogether one day!

Forgot to update in here that the "Border" has been dropped using my postcode and a Borders postcode, it's ITV+1 like everywhere else.

There has been conjecture, though, that there is a requirement in the freesat spec to be able to "Add Channels", so this feature may be provided via an over the air upgrade in the near future.

Yes both the BUSH Freesat SD and HD boxes can receive Non-Freesat channels with a few clicks.

First you need to go into the main menu and make sure "Show Non-Freesat Channels" is set to "Yes or On". Then you need to go to the "Add Non-Freesat Channels" and you need to manually add all the transponder frequencies one separately "Add Channels" and save them.

When you're done adding all the one's you need, in order to view the non-freesat channels at anytime simply press the "Channel List" button and click "SWAP" and they will be listed, they aren't on the main EPG which is annoying but it is certainly possible to view them on a BUSH box - as someone who has owned and used a number of them -and recently got rid of them as they are very poor quality.

I still have a broken Goodmans and a Bush Freesat SD box that needed the same manual tune for non-Freesat channels.

What does the 'Higher-Class' of Freesat box do differently (Humax, Echostar etc)? do non-freesat channels appear in the guide or something?

Can we keep 'non-changelog' discussion elsewhere.
