    @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.

    @thebedfordfox @DAZNBoxing Noticed this myself when paying,a little bit sly, but noticed was entering a monthly agreement on paying the £24.99,so made sure went in next morning to cancel ,DAZN then just leave you on the Freeview stuff..hopefully they realise this sly tactic next time pisses the public off
