    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.

    @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 🙁

    @EdwardJDavey The BBC is a shitshow of garbage and mostly non English persons. It should be axed from freeview. It tries to force people into giving it money with the threat of prosecution if you dont.

    @reformexposed Ooh maybe because if the bbc were forced to go subscription, it would get rid of freeview, funded by the tv licence, so to watch tv you would have to pay a blooming fortune on a subscription service?
