    @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.

    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!!

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

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

  • Forager26 Tom Paterson (@Forager26) reported

    @InsideOutCJ I believe RT has now been taken down from Freeview.

  • tvlive TV Live 🇺🇦 (@tvlive) reported

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

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

    @scottygb @FloraCarmichael @alistaircoleman Freeview feed seemed to get 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 feed) dropped it.

  • Toytowner Ⓜ️©Noddy 🇺🇦 😷🚔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Toytowner) reported from Westhill, Scotland

    @unpaidcarer1 Website down. Channel is off Sky and Freeview.

  • MediaBoyUK Media Boy UK (@MediaBoyUK) reported

    Has RT been removed from your TV? If anyone is reply to me CAN you tell me what network you are on? Freeview SD Channel 234 Freeview HD Channel 113 Thank you Anyone can reply just on this post from now on. (All others has been close)

  • 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)

  • scottygb Scott Bryan (@scottygb) reported

    @FloraCarmichael @alistaircoleman yep - but Freeview’s signal comes from elsewhere. They pulled the plug too.

  • alistaircoleman Alistair Coleman (@alistaircoleman) reported

    Here's the situation: RT is OFF on Sky RT is ON Freeview in HD only (ch113) but off on SD (ch 234) Your mileage may vary depending on your service provider.

  • joe90kane 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿j_kane🇵🇸 #pwME (@joe90kane) reported

    @Peasweat2 My bad. RT not available on Freeview 234 but still broadcasting on Freeview 113.
