    @FreeviewTV why has RT been removed from freeview? We live in a democracy where we should be able to hear all sides to a narrative, even if we don't agree with it. Are we going down the Covid route of one sided info? Let us choose what to watch and

  • JacobHunt3r Jakob Hunter (@JacobHunt3r) reported

    @PrisonPlanet In other news, RTs satellite link is in Europe & once cut can't be transmitted anywhere in Europe. *However* Freeview's signal does not come from there and we cut that all by ourselves ( probably something to do with sovereignty )

    The BBC news at this time in history is awful, intriguing and compulsive all at the same time. I'm on Freeview.

    @PrisonPlanet I spoke to ofcom: THEY have not shutdown RT: it is freeview & YouTube who have done this. I agree it is terrible to not let us hear all sides in this "democracy" we live in! Reminds me of stopping all opinions about Covid. Agree or not, we should have the right to hear all sides

    @Richard66629722 @florencerounda2 You can cancel the sky TV service if you want and it becomes a Freeview TV. Or you could plug in another cable service if you want. Just won’t have the same voice controls. But the voice control annoys me anyway as it is so buggy.

    @helenmccusker @neighbours Had the same problem, watched it all the time on BBC, then it went to channel 5 and I couldn't get C5 so had years of missing it and then have never watched C5 since having Freeview & don't buy TV guides anymore so have no idea what is on normal TV & never watch live TV anymore
