    @Ossyref I know but it’s not on Freeview. Not everyone has YouTube for TV or ability to watch on app. We ok as have Virgin but it’s still crap they ain’t showing it for others.

    @Sillyshib Heartbeat, ssshhh, it's never been off. You can watch Heartbeat every day on freeview

  • iainsykes2014 Iain Sykes (@iainsykes2014) reported from Blackburn, England

    @KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • johnworthy27 john worthington (@johnworthy27) reported from Preston, England

    @chloesammike @andywigmore @KayBurley Don't worry you can still get Sky news on channel 132 on your Freeview box. Thick ****.....

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • 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.

  • ceejay_epping Colin (@ceejay_epping) reported

    @NM_Rdg @Jim_Cornelius @NadineDorries Yes but Freeview got its programme feed via satellite and that was shut down by the EU at about 4.45pm. This is why Freeview is now showing the ‘not available’ message.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Has Freeview 'pulled' or removed RT? Technically no. What has happened today is that the feed of the channel has been cut. The black 'service unavailable' message kicks in when the channel feed is lost (has happened before on other channels). (1)

  • 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

  • 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

  • colin1951uk Colin Knight (@colin1951uk) reported

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

  • 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.

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

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

  • alan_shaefer Alan Shaefer🇺🇦 🗽💙🧡💜 #FBNHS #JohnsonOut #PATH (@alan_shaefer) reported

    RT no longer broadcasting on Freeview, just the sign "This service is currently unavailable." Tech problem? Hacked?
