    @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.

    @otivar55 Most people will probably steer clear of @AJEnglish (Freeview CH 235) and never see this remarkable 4-part documentary. Hopefully, it will be allowed to be screened on UK mainstream TV.

  • aljwatson Alex Watson (@aljwatson) reported

    @send_it_baby @MartinSLewis Why would the BBC become a subscription service? Which other public services should be optional subscriptions? How do you make the radio a subscription service? What about people who watch the BBC through FTA Freeview boxes? How do you paywall that? Why would you even want to?
