    I don't have an ariel or freeview I rely on your piece of shit @virginmedia #VirginMedia

  • quodignoratum Myles Winstone (@quodignoratum) reported from Warrington, England

    @TalkingPicsTV Definitely. We struggle getting Freeview and as you’re not on BT TV I’m missing my fix!

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

    @Andy_hhh @Serendipity_03_ @VNotmeat Actually RT was not shut down by the UK. It has been affected by a ban imposed by the European Union. Although the UK is no longer in the EU, the bloc applied sanctions to satellite companies in Luxembourg and France, which provided the RT feed to Sky, Freesat and Freeview.

  • BananaEzzy12 The Ice Cream Man (@BananaEzzy12) reported

    The thing is with being British and having freeview tv there’s not many ppl I can relate to in cartoons and ****

  • TBeaterson Thom Beaterson (@TBeaterson) reported

    @John_BHarvey Spender never seems to get the same repeat treatment that some other shows from that era get on freeview (or does it?) A shame - I imagine it still stands up.

  • johnsouthwales JohnWales (@johnsouthwales) reported

    Freeview channel 234 RT. This service is currently not available..Was going to have a look and see what George Galloway and co say about it

  • pipmadeley Pip (@pipmadeley) reported

    @cooraysmith Read a lot of people having the same issue. The Freeview website said we've recently had engineering works in the area, the signals were pretty solid before that.

  • ioloj Iolo Jones (@ioloj) reported

    @gaeilge2036 @carolecadwalla @BBC The EU closed down the EU controlled sat feed, so Sky, Virgin, Freeview et al can’t provide a service. If it was down to Boris & Dorries no doubt it would still be live, as it is over the internet. Also, I think that most Tories would argue that the BBC isn’t state controlled.

  • lee_alley Lee Alley (@lee_alley) reported

    I see RT's down on Freeview in the UK.

  • ShaneRosser20 Shane Rosser (@ShaneRosser20) reported

    I never watch the mainstream media news channels on virgin media or Freeview TV besides there are other channels that people can watch and I'm watching now 90s music channel on virgin media TV right now.

  • LostGlasgow Lost Glasgow (@LostGlasgow) reported

    Odd, channel hopping, and come to Freeview 56 - 5Select - and up pops Britain's Great Rivers: Then and Now - The Clyde. Waiting to see what I said a few years back, when I froze my bollocks off, being interviewed down opposite the Finnieston Crane. TV - oh, the glamour...

  • pandorasrockbox Miryam Pan D'ora Rae ~ PandorasRockBox (@pandorasrockbox) reported
