    Hope we don't get this warm weather very often.#freeview doesn't work because of the high atmospheric pressure apparently. How am I going to watch #loveisland

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

    @a516digital So this is an Arqiva decision to shut down 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"

  • 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

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

    @graeme_from_IT @Ofcom Looks like events have overtaken themselves. With the EU banning the channel thus cutting off the Astra satellite uplink, it's down for Sky & Freesat viewers (and YouTube has blocked the channel for EU & UK viewers), and that disconnection appears to have also affected Freeview.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • DaveCampaigns David PhD Get Vaccinated.MaskUp Stay Local. 💚🇪🇺 (@DaveCampaigns) reported

    Freeview Channel Guide 113 RT "This channel is currently unavailable" Oh dear. How sad. Never Mind. #IStandWithUkriane

  • 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
