I was wondering about this - is it possible to get rid of al the MPEG crap covering 3/4 of the screen so we can actually read what is going on on the main TV picture?

Grrrr!

no, they is only enough multiplex space for a 1/4 screen on BBC Parliament, but you can get a full screen version on Cable and on Digital Satelite

It saves bandwith (space). Freeview CAN have a lot of channels but its a waste splitting up the multiscreen and wasting more channel spaces.
