  @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 🙁

  One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.

  Wow #biggamenight is awful! A poor attempt by @channel5_tv to recreate something similar to @SoccerAM only for the NFl. Still, good to have games on Freeview though

  @FreeviewAdvice what is the future plans for freeview? I can no longer receive ch71 That’s TV3 on any of my equipment I bought when the Granada region was switched to a different signal making my previous freeview equipment useless. Not happy if I have to do it again!
