Yes, I agree.They should bring all national radio networks back including digital only (6Music, BBC7).I've noticed similar discussion going on at the BBC Messageboard Point Of View section.It seems some people are really trying to persuade us that the main obstacle for bringing back all radio channels to Astra 2B is a technical one.Here is a post:
"re: Radio 1 and Radio 3 back on Ast Kieren Walters - 38th post - 9 Jan 2004 22:01
The license fee is paid to watch TV in the UK, BBC Radio has no responsibility to broadcast outside of the UK, this is done by BBC World Service which is funded by the Foreign Office. Your right to say that BBCi services could move to 2D to make space for radio channels. The problem with this is that BBCi services are video streams so putting one BBCi video stream on 2D would need more space than that created by removing all of the radio services from 2D (as video takes up more space than audio) It could also cause performance problems with BBCi as how the Sky box handles streams from different satellites within one interactive application is untested as far as I know."
