    Proof has been provided that they do and ITV now owns them. I've seen you do this before, someone shows you are a liar so you just ignore it by saying you are right but obviously unable to back up your claims because they're (censored)

    You just want to bait and they shout a moderator, I've already alerted them to you though


    You do not have a clue, yet you rudely attempt to correct others by posting 10 year old news pieces that actually prove you wrong, comical.

    I'm going to say it one last time SDN run a MUX they do not run TRANSMITTERS, as they piece you posted, without understanding, clearly stated.

    That much paranoia cannot be good for anyone.


    Seriously it must be a medical condition.

    Notice how they just insult people when they've clearly lost the argument!

    Clearly it is you who doesn't have a clue. Your BBC colleague insisted the BBC TV Licence funds the Muxes (transmitters), I proved this wasn't true. You have now twisted the argument because I proved you were liars. The Muxes are transmitters (intelligent people know this).

    Now be a man and admit the BBC TV Licence doesn't fund it, or prove they do...................................watch him ignore this again ;)

    The BBC can switch off any decoder or receiver codec of live broadcast TV that does not have the default key of the set registered against a licence.
    With 128 bit encryption built in, they can guarantee nobody without a licence for that set will not be watching the BBC.
    They wont do this for one reason, nobody will pay it when the other hundred or so channels are free.
    Be happy...;)

    Calling someone a liar, accusing them of baiting, accusing them of being part of a 'BBC clique' and trying to elicit either an adverse or aggressive response from them is known as trolling.

    I really wanted to correct you on this but its like taking sweets from a baby.

    I'm just going to let your comment sit there as testament to your fundamental and utter ignorance of digital TV.

    Night Night.

    Show people you aren't this silly by proving your point then. If you insist the Muxes are not transmitters show everyone what they are and who owns them................you can't do this because you know I'm right. All you are doing is showing readers how far the BBC PR clique will go to defend their employer.

    You've gone a couple of pages now with hear-say and ignore legitimate sites which prove I'm correct. You are just showing people its not worth funding the BBC when they'll go this far to stop criticism

    If I'm wrong then at least one of you should be able to back up your claims about the BBC funding the television network in the UK.....................and yet you stay well clear of that don't you. Another funny thing is you ignore the insults directed at me by your BBC colleagues, still I'm sure non of the other members have noticed that ;)

    As I've said before their doing this to bait people, I said this would happen and lucky here..............so predictable

    This is all well and good, but what are the actual facts?

    I presume Arqiva own and operate the physical transmitters, whilst some of the Freeview multiplexes are owned by commercial entities who are not the main broadcasters.

    Either way, if LF payers are subsidising commercial broadcasters (which is the implication of what was said earlier) I think we should be told.
