Is there a website that explains what any of this means? I own a TV but this looks like a different language. :/

A magazine to discuss Digital Terrestrial Television (known as Freeview in the UK)
Technical discussion and channel changes and rumours encouraged!
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
For teletext discussion, see !teletext@fedia.io
This is a complementary service to the @ukdtt@botsin.space Mastodon bot (posts automated channel changes), and associated Discord/Linen server.
- Channel list website: https://www.terrestrialtv.uk
- Discord: https://discord.gg/ZMYc6ZBUxC
- Linen: https://www.linen.dev/d/ukdtt
Rules
No discussion of illegal activities, eg (but not limited to) hacking of receivers, decoding PIN-protected channels, or where to download/watch TV shows illegally.

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.
@i_am_not_a_robot Intruiging.
A feeling that may be spoiled when it’s something I’d heard and forgotten about… 😆
That has now been removed. A test? Or a glitch? There are supposed to be some changes ~~today~~ next week, so maybe it will reappear ~~later~~.
Edited - sorry, got my days mixed up.
@i_am_not_a_robot Easy to forget what day it is at this time of year. I thought it was Friday a moment ago. 😀
