  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

    @mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

  • genders_jason Jason Genders (@genders_jason) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @madaboutHolly @Lee_JM75 Who's watching this bad boy on Freeview channel 70 ,Horror, right now😁💩💩💩

  • DamienAshton Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, England

    Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

  • geovilla77 georgie green (@geovilla77) reported from Bromsgrove, England

    You don’t realise how awful freeview is until your waiting for the sky man to come to your house 🥴

    @virtualash tell your boys your TV quality is poor on Freeview. Whale's head will not look fuzzy. This can't be allowed to happen.

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

    Note: the Freeview service obtains its feed from the satellite broadcast.

  • damcqueen David McQueen (@damcqueen) reported

    RT just stopped transmission on Freeview. Increasingly detached from reality in last few years and unwatchable this week, but the danger of censoring news is it works both ways. Now all indie media in Moscow has been shut down and western media will be harder to see. Who judges..

  • colin1951uk Colin Knight (@colin1951uk) reported

    @a516digital So this is an Arqiva decision to shut down on Freeview?

  • IcaruS_Studios IcaruS_Studios (@IcaruS_Studios) reported

    @paganpirate @JR66112852 RT is down on UK Freeview, sky and BT channels, not just YT

  • Gramblera Colin Clanger (@Gramblera) reported

    @Blairskiboy @ChristineJameis Al Jazeera better RT was OK (except for Putin fairytale ****) but erasing them from sky & Freeview is a good thing in the current circumstances.

  • JoeClitherow Joe Clitherow (@JoeClitherow) reported

    @Barry4EU @Agar5588 That's essentially what I said. The feed originates in Moscow and is uploaded to satellite. It is irrelevant that it goes via an intermediary upload The point was that if it is shut down at SES then that also terminates Freeview as well as Sky. Which was the original question

  • PartickDriver Inde-Car Gordon Ross (@PartickDriver) reported

    @Dan_Dawson65 @graeme_from_IT Not local Freeview channels. They're not classed public service broadcasters. Content is not regulated in the same way. Broadcasting Scotland news content already exceed ofcom standards incidentally.

  • AngleseyPete Pete Baars (@AngleseyPete) reported

    @Dez45346395 @alan_shaefer EU ban means Luxembourg based SES shut down their feed of RT. Sky and FreeSat receive their feed from SES, it's likely that Freeview received from the same source.

  • michahistoire Micha Histoire 🇱🇨 (@michahistoire) reported

    Wow they really took down RT off freeview as well, I thought it was only going to go down on Sky

  • DJMidarezaki DJ Midarezaki, Esq. 🇬🇧🇺🇦🇨🇦🇭🇰🇹🇼 (@DJMidarezaki) reported

    @graeme_from_IT @Ofcom Looks like events have overtaken themselves. With the EU banning the channel thus cutting off the Astra satellite uplink, it's down for Sky & Freesat viewers (and YouTube has blocked the channel for EU & UK viewers), and that disconnection appears to have also affected Freeview.
