  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

  • DavidSwindells1 David Swindells (@DavidSwindells1) reported from Macclesfield, England

    Hope we don't get this warm weather very often.#freeview doesn't work because of the high atmospheric pressure apparently. How am I going to watch #loveisland

  • m7leicauser Andy Barton (@m7leicauser) reported from Comberbach, England

    @FreeviewTV Thanks to Dan at Freeview, the aerial-out retune x2 seems to have cured the problem. 👍

  • kirstxxiv kirstylouise (@kirstxxiv) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Imagine how much of a Christmas miracle it would be if BBC3 came back to freeview number 7. I can picture it now, Gavin & Stacey returns and BBC3 makes a comeback. 25/12/19 would go down in history.

  • tvlive TV Live 🇺🇦 (@tvlive) reported

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

  • robert07059131 Leo (NEW) (@robert07059131) reported

    @MaizyDaizyZzzz Damn, off on freeview now 17.00 hrs

  • Jim_Cornelius Jim Cornelius🇺🇦🕊 (@Jim_Cornelius) reported

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

  • Shaunagav1980 Shauna (@Shaunagav1980) reported

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

  • 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)

  • ceejay_epping Colin (@ceejay_epping) reported

    @NM_Rdg @Jim_Cornelius @NadineDorries Yes but Freeview got its programme feed via satellite and that was shut down by the EU at about 4.45pm. This is why Freeview is now showing the ‘not available’ message.

  • DavidWMcDuff David McDuff 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.🇪🇺 (@DavidWMcDuff) reported

    @adamboultonTABB @Ofcom RT down on Freeview 18:43 UK

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

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

  • colin1951uk Colin Knight (@colin1951uk) reported

    @a516digital So this is an Arqiva decision to shut down 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
