  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

    @mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

  • DamienAshton Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, England

    Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

  • genders_jason Jason Genders (@genders_jason) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @yotanka77 It's free and will be available to you once it starts up. Freeview is a free range of channels including the mainstream channels. You can open an account with the service without a fee I believe (don't quote me on that)

  • 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.

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

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

  • knigma Mark Knight (@knigma) reported

    @Rob_Pullinger @GBNEWS Damn good idea @GBNEWS, can you now HD on Freeview?

  • ukdtt UK Terrestrial TV (@ukdtt) reported

    Apparently RT is now closed down on #Freeview.

  • JoeClitherow Joe Clitherow (@JoeClitherow) reported

    @Barry4EU @Agar5588 That's essentially what I said. The feed originates in Moscow and is uploaded to satellite. It is irrelevant that it goes via an intermediary upload The point was that if it is shut down at SES then that also terminates Freeview as well as Sky. Which was the original question

  • StevieHemmings Steven Hemmings - License to till 💙 (@StevieHemmings) reported

    @richardxxx4 @Noundela1 Are you getting it via internet or TV service such as Freeview, Sky etc.

  • JohnTurner2021 John Turner (@JohnTurner2021) reported

    @BreakIntoProg Went down at about 1645 when they lost their SES feed. Without the Astra satellite they can't feed the Freeview platform.

  • daryl_millar Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reported

    @CameronYardeJnr @toniearlybird This sounds like there won't be a joint streaming service from the main Freeview broadcasters.

  • maxy_durand **** (@maxy_durand) reported

    @Otto_English It was still broadcasting for a while on Freeview, then taken down. I don't suppose many remainers have heard Freeview though
