  • margatesunsets Fiona K. (@margatesunsets) reported from Margate, England

    @dancludlow Never thought of it even. Not that worried, there'll be a solution. It supposedly has Freesat & Freeview on it. Will have to try to get D's son out here, if he ever stays still, he'll know! TV is 2020 model, hardly top of the range but good enough for me.

  • AbiSale1 Abi Sale (@AbiSale1) reported from Dover, England

    @LightsOutF1Blog @SkySportsF1 @SkyHelpTeam Would also be interested to se if you can get it for £10 through a different service eg virgin/freeview

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

  • michahistoire Micha Histoire 🇱🇨 (@michahistoire) reported

    Wow they really took down RT off freeview as well, I thought it was only going to go down on Sky

  • 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.

  • Forager26 Tom Paterson (@Forager26) reported

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

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

    @frankotron @HouseofCommons @NadineDorries That may or may not have affected the Freeview stream, which was also taken down.

  • pennywisepeter pennywisepeter (@pennywisepeter) reported

    So RT has been taken down... "This service is currently not available" on Freeview.

  • ImmuneNaturally John Kelley (@ImmuneNaturally) reported

    @LordDeeDah Just back home from busy day to find no RT on freeview the channel is still there but the caption on screen reads: "This service is currently not available"

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.
