Discussion of other DTT systems around the world is good too, as well as programmes, although there may be better groups for these topics, such as !britishtelly@feddit.uk

This is a complementary service to the @ukdtt@botsin.space Mastodon bot (posts automated channel changes), and associated Discord/Linen server.

The channels are grouped into multiplexes, nominally called PSB1/2/3 and COM4/5/6. Channels themselves are just pointers to various video and audio streams - usually they have names, but can be added without them and remain mostly hidden. This is a service/channel which has been added without a name (the number is the "service id"). Usually this happens and then they get renamed, but in this instance it got removed again.
Can my TV tune into this then? Or do you need a special service menu to do it?
Some can, and will show them in the 800s. Others can't.
