  • Crewedaddy Richard Seamon (@Crewedaddy) reported from Crewe, England

    @james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

  • JoyAnneGarner Joy Garner (@JoyAnneGarner) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Anyone else having issues with Freeview etc today? ST6 area ?

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Werrington, England

    Warning, stupid question incoming, does a Freeview tele just simply plug into an old skool aerial?? My mum wants a new TV but doesn’t have cable. I’m assuming so? I’ve had cable since the early 90s so haven’t had to faff on with aerials for 30 odd years !!!

  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @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.

  • DavidSwindells1 David Swindells (@DavidSwindells1) reported from Macclesfield, England

    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

  • kirstxxiv kirstylouise (@kirstxxiv) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Imagine how much of a Christmas miracle it would be if BBC3 came back to freeview number 7. I can picture it now, Gavin & Stacey returns and BBC3 makes a comeback. 25/12/19 would go down in history.

  • Shaunagav1980 Shauna (@Shaunagav1980) reported

    Wtf??? RT news channel gone from my freeview! 😡 @RT_com

  • 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.

  • IcaruS_Studios IcaruS_Studios (@IcaruS_Studios) reported

    @paganpirate @JR66112852 RT is down on UK Freeview, sky and BT channels, not just YT

  • ukdtt UK Terrestrial TV (@ukdtt) reported

    Apparently RT is now closed down on #Freeview.

  • lanerobertlane Robert Falla-Louvét 🔭🪐🚀 (@lanerobertlane) reported

    @scottygb @FloraCarmichael @alistaircoleman Freeview feed seemed to get 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 feed) dropped it.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • ChrisWeir5 Chris Weir 💙 🇪🇺🇬🇧 #SackPritiPatel (@ChrisWeir5) reported

    @Otto_English @fascinatorfun It's only gone because of the EU ban. That meant the feed to the satellite (from which Freeview take the service) was shut down.

  • 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)

  • 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"
