  • Christi34653250 Christine Scott (@Christi34653250) reported from Longbenton, England

    @ITVX I wish I could or that Freeview took on this network a lot of us on pensions can't afford satalite or cable

  • GerryCarpenter3 Gerry Carpenter (@GerryCarpenter3) reported from Sunderland, England

    @Claire_Pickard @sueashton3000 Many residents in Sunderland & along the Durham Coast also receive Freeview Channels from the Bilsdale transmitter. The fire is also likely to have knocked out about 30 relay stations, which "feed" on signals from Bilsdale. I wouldn't like to climb up the transmitter to fix it!

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

  • AddingRandomWit Adam Widdrington (@AddingRandomWit) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

  • aquablu Nicola (@aquablu) reported from Whitley Bay, England

  • alan_shaefer Alan Shaefer🇺🇦 🗽💙🧡💜 #FBNHS #JohnsonOut #PATH (@alan_shaefer) reported

    RT no longer broadcasting on Freeview, just the sign "This service is currently unavailable." Tech problem? Hacked?

  • mpk Mike (@mpk) reported

    @veronica_landon @lexheath @PippaCrerar Ofcom is doing everything by the book. Lots of investigations running into various RT-related issues but they (rightly) don’t have the power to simply yank channels off air. Whether RT can still pay their bills for carriage on Freeview et al with the sanctions is another thing..

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Has Freeview 'pulled' or removed RT? Technically no. What has happened today is that the feed of the channel has been cut. The black 'service unavailable' message kicks in when the channel feed is lost (has happened before on other channels). (1)

  • EdenFisher Peter Clarke (@EdenFisher) reported

    @NadineDorries how come RT is still on Freeview, you said they'd been shut down. #fail

  • Shaunagav1980 Shauna (@Shaunagav1980) reported

    Wtf??? RT news channel gone from my freeview! 😡 @RT_com

  • SDrippings SmarmyDrippings💙💜🤍💚 (@SDrippings) reported

    RT has disappeared from Freeview. Has it finally been taken down?

  • tvlive TV Live 🇺🇦 (@tvlive) reported

    BREAKING: RT has now been shut down completely on Freeview.

  • RichieUK_TTV Richie #SaveNeighbours (@RichieUK_TTV) reported

    @a516digital Maybe that’s what Freeview is using as the service for RT HD went blank for a good few seconds before returning

  • lanerobertlane Robert Falla-Louvét 🔭🪐🚀 (@lanerobertlane) reported

    @scottygb @FloraCarmichael @alistaircoleman Freeview feed seemed to go to Aqiva via the Hotbird satellite, since RT on freeview went down when that feed was cut, as opposed to when the Astra 2 satellite (carrying sky/freesat’s seed) dropped it.

  • LaBloggeuse Dr Devra Kay (@LaBloggeuse) reported

    @RolandCPowell @droyls It was going strong on UK Freeview until middle of this pm. Then a one-line message appeared: This service is currently not available. They had been criticizing the French ban just before that. Thanks for the info.
