    @traceyfromrasen @Kavismate @SkySportsRacing @RacingTV My Freeview signal can be hopeless at best even connected to Wi-fi but the HDMI/laptop combo works well when the cat isn’t jumping on it !

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

  • skipaiotter Skipai Otter (@skipaiotter) reported

    @BackPawScratch Freeview is basically a rebroadcast of what is being beamed down from that really and then retransmitting it via airwaves. They're going to lose that feed or whatever Astra decides to put up as placeholder when channel goes off.

  • Toto92733149 Toto (@Toto92733149) reported

    @geof_hughes RT now down on uk freeview

  • MediaBoyUK Media Boy UK (@MediaBoyUK) reported

    If anyone is reply to me CAN you tell me what network you are on? Freeview (only got RT in SD), Sky HD, Freeview HD or Freesat. Thank you

  • PATVOne1 P.A.T.V. Scunthorpe (@PATVOne1) reported

    @JillStuart17 While it is currently under investigation by Ofcom to decide whether it has broken the impartiality rule, RT still holds a valid licence to broadcast, so cannot be removed by Freeview (or Sky), otherwise they'd be the ones breaking Ofcom's code.

  • mkalexroy641 Marc Alec (@mkalexroy641) reported

    @NadineDorries Not much of a restriction, it's still available on Freeview which most people have. Close it down completely.

  • back_the_BBC Back the BBC 📺📻📡📱 (@back_the_BBC) reported

    @Jake_Kanter I look forward to @afneil explaining how that would work technically for all the tens of millions of homes that get all their TV through Freesat and Freeview. Spoiler - there is no solution that doesn't cost billions and a decade to implement

  • Gozzer66 MrsGoz 💙🇺🇦🌻🌻 (@Gozzer66) reported

    @NadineDorries That’s good news. When will it be taken down from Freeview?

  • WHBrigzy WHBrigzy (@WHBrigzy) reported

    @PaulJCobbe Should be on BBC TWO. This broadcast has been terrible shite all night and when they said switch to BBC TWO what if the broadcasting had failed to carry on for arguments sake and miss something! End of the day, its freeview so news can go any channel! Dont see your problem on it

  • DameBucket Dame Edna Bucket (@DameBucket) reported
