    @Sonic_Sinclair @bbcmicrobot Technically it is, there's support for it in DVB. There's several channels on DVB satellite that uses it, not sure there's any on freeview. Certainly all the original services shutdown or moved to MHEG. The BBC mheg service was incredible but that's shutdown now too 🙁

    @Ramtronik Older TVs simply ignore them as they don’t support DVB-T2, not even adding the channels to main channel list. For example, an old Freeview TV will not add BBC One HD on channel 101 or U&Eden on channel 57. That’s not the case with this latest change, which uses DVB-T1 for the

    @MediaBoyUK They will wind down satellite and cable from Sky and Virgin. Freesat is going the same way. Freeview doesn't seem to have a long term future either. That leave Freely.
