I support your views wholeheartedly but, unfortunately, although the licence fee goes to the BBC it is legally enforceable on anyone who has equipment capable of receiving ANY live TV signals.
What we need is a change to the BBC charter whereby they are prohibited from levying this tax (for it is indeed a tax) and a return to Lord Reith's principles on which the BBC was founded nearly a century ago. It is high time that the BBC ceased its inane competition with commercial TV and returns to being a Public Service Broadcasting organisation, informing and educating the public rather than spending vast amounts of money on absolute drivel and overpaid staff and "celebrity" presenters. Either that or becoming an arm of Government with consequent accountability to Parliament and the electorate.

Extended Event Descriptors offer an opportunity to describe a programme in greater detail.
Freesat has had these descriptors for at least eight years but I've never heard mention of them. They are probably only available on G2 devices.
Here is an example event that has an Extended Event Descriptor:
Channel 4, Wed 04 Dec 00:10 - 01:05: Our Guy in Japan
Guy Martin visits a slum in Yokohama; pays his respects at Hiroshima, and takes a dip in the mildly radioactive waters; and joins in one of the country's oldest fireworks festivals. (Ep2/2) [AD,S]
<extended_event_descriptor lang = eng>
EpisodeNumber = 2
SeriesNumber = 1
AlphaSortIndexEventName = Our Guy in Japan
TEXT:
Travel series in which truck mechanic and motorcycle racer Guy Martin goes on a 2,500-mile journey around Japan. Guy continues his journey by visiting a corner of Japan that is rarely spoken about: a slum in Yokohama where he sneaks in to love hotels, illegal gambling dens and the yakuza-organised crime gang headquarters. Unlike any other slum in the world, it is clean, orderly and equipped with free Wi-Fi. The rest of his off-beat itinerary includes working with the maintenance team on the world's longest, strongest and most expensive suspension bridge, and training under the mystical guidance of one of Japan's last remaining swordsmiths. Guy also makes a special detour to pay his respects at Hiroshima, where he finds the tram that was up and running just three days after a nuclear bomb destroyed the city in August 1945. Guy also spends leisure time in the mildly radioactive waters of a hot spring. Finally, he participates in one of the country's oldest fireworks festivals [AD]

Does anyone see this level of detail on their Freesat device?

Here's another hefty tome from the Freesat 4seven EPG. The TEXT here is 1532 characters long.
Is anyone seeing this stuff on their Freesat EPG?
4seven, Thu 05 Dec 01:15 - 02:20: The Royal House of Windsor
In 1947, as Britain suffers from post-war austerity and the worst winter on record, a lovesick Princess Elizabeth and an ailing George VI visit South Africa on a fraught royal tour. (Ep2/6) [AD,S]
<extended_event_descriptor lang = eng>
EpisodeNumber = 2
SeriesNumber = 1
AlphaSortIndexEventName = Royal House of Windsor, The
TEXT:
Six-part series telling the story of one of the great dynasties of the last 100 years, with the help of family insiders, fresh research and unique access to the royal archives at Windsor Castle. The series combines never-before-seen film archive and new interviews with key members of the Queen's extended family. This second episode reveals how a lovesick Elizabeth and her ailing father, George VI, kept up appearances while crises loomed on every front. In 1947, the royal family are on a tour of South Africa. Britain is suffering from crippling post-war austerity and the worst winter on record. Behind the smiles, the King is suffering from the strains of the war, the smoking that would eventually kill him and anxiety about his eldest daughter. Elizabeth has told him that she is secretly engaged to her cousin, Prince Philip, but the King asks his daughter to wait until after South Africa before announcing her news. The royal tour is billed as a way of thanking the South Africans for their war effort, but in reality the mission is to shore up the crumbling British Empire. The king is frustrated at the attempts by the racist Afrikaners to try to stop him even shaking hands with black people, referring to his police minders as 'the Gestapo'. The fraught tour reaches its climax when Princess Elizabeth turns 21 and she famously broadcasts around the world promising to devote her whole life to 'service'. Within four years, the King is dead and a young, newly married Elizabeth is suddenly thrust onto the throne [AD]

Freesat4 was renamed to Freesat Info and added to the test region with LCN 901 on SD, HD and G2 devices.
Freesat Info is not the same as freesat info, which appears on SD and HD devices on LCN 999 but confined to the test region on G2 devices:

ASTRA/BSkyB Diffs:
An encrypted HD test named 52586 was added to the BSkyB service tables:
Comparing files List ASTRA 03-12-2019 18 01.txt and List ASTRA 04-12-2019 11 01.txt
************************ NEW ************************
SERVICE NAME TYPE EPGID SID TSID ONID FREQ.P ENC EIT PROVIDER BOUQUETS LCN
52586 25 1203 52586 2116 2 11427V 1 1 BSkyB 000000000000010 1031
At present, only the PMT and ECM streams belonging to 52586 are present. The video and audio streams advertised in the PMT are absent.
What makes 52586 of interest is the transponder it's on: 11427V.
11427V currently has four HD services on it, all of which are on Freesat:
S4C HD
FRANCE 24(ENG)
FreeSports HD
QUEST HD
Whilst looking at 11427V I noticed FreeSports HD had lots of missing packets.
Further investigation showed that the video and audio streams were dropping out for a few seconds every minute or so.
This is reflected in the bitrate measurement for 11427V:
Video Bitrate (Mbps) sampled at 32 <= dPCR <= 43 ms intervals over 17 seconds for 11426.50 V 29500 8/9 DVB-S2 QPSK (04/12/2019 16:46:51)

04.660 | 02.924 | 03.743 | All Other Streams

That was at 16:46 and it's still dropping out now at 21:20.

You can load a Freeview App onto your phone. Then you can watch many channels but make sure you obey the TV License rules.

The BBC changed the way their EPG was produced in the last year or so.
The lack of HD Simulcast Event Linkage descriptors was one notable change.
Recently, these have been reintroduced, though not yet implemented for some channels.
For Freeview, the channels that now have HD Simulcast Event Linkages are:
BBC FOUR, BBC ONE, BBC TWO, CBeebies and Channel 5.
For Freesat, the channels that now have HD Simulcast Event Linkages are:
BBC FOUR, BBC ONE, BBC TWO, CBeebies, ITV, STV and UTV.
