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 🙁

@JacquiDeevoy1 I think I may have mentioned before that I've never held a TV licence ever. When I visit a friend he has Freeview channels running which makes me feel depressed instantly. As an IT guy I have a Linux Kodi Box that allows me all my OdySee, Rumble & Bitchute content ads Free.

@CI5BDC The Professionals was a must-watch in my teens; imagine my delight when I found it was being shown on Freeview. Imagine my disappointment when I saw it was unwatchable crap.
