  • PhilMcBoobs Philip McHale (@PhilMcBoobs) reported from Barnet, England

    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

    @MarketaDee @CNN Freeview has never worked for us for some reason.. will try again. Thanks.

    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..

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • colin1951uk Colin Knight (@colin1951uk) reported

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

  • scottygb Scott Bryan (@scottygb) reported

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

  • ChrisWeir5 Chris Weir 💙 🇪🇺🇬🇧 #SackPritiPatel (@ChrisWeir5) reported

    @Otto_English @fascinatorfun It's only gone because of the EU ban. That meant the feed to the satellite (from which Freeview take the service) was shut down.

  • 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..

  • 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.

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

    @andyarmit @goddersbloom It's now gone from Freeview, I expect it was taking its feed from the Astra satellite signal.

  • 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.
