    @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 🙁

    Freeview channel 53 crashed the smart tv. Google said unplug, and then said reflow the motherboard. Managed to solve it by pressing lots of buttons all at once whilst holding down the power button onto AV menu🍺

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital But your right with your answers, tech questions, you hit a brick wall, or harry hill, whom i never asked for in the first place, if freeview think theyve answered my problem, well!
