Not one of these services (excluding sports) is available on freesat. That is really not meeting platform neutrality is it?
Freesat is 2 years old and you still cannot provide these services, why cant you just reversion the sports multiscreen service to provide these?
No news multiscreen, a-z index, red button doesn't work on cbbc or cbeebies....
