    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

    @RolandCPowell @droyls It was going strong on UK Freeview until middle of this pm. Then a one-line message appeared: This service is currently not available. They had been criticizing the French ban just before that. Thanks for the info.

  • Geordie_Gavs Gav (@Geordie_Gavs) reported

    @JayneSeckerSky @SkyNews RT isn't working on Freeview. Has it been shut down?

  • htwcentral Historical Television Website (@htwcentral) reported

    @TesTVWhirl RT HD has/had supposedly moved to a much higher channel number hence not gone altogether (yet?) since losing its SD service but that and the Freeview service could disappear at some point.

  • rodgers_tc Chris Torfaen - Eco-Socialist, BDS, #StarmerOut (@rodgers_tc) reported

    @diffyonhoto1 @georgegalloway I have a Chinese Region Samsung Smart TV and all channels are working normal that we pick up via the Internet - we don't get Freeview down here by the way.

  • joe90kane 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿j_kane🇵🇸 #pwME (@joe90kane) reported

    @Peasweat2 My bad. RT not available on Freeview 234 but still broadcasting on Freeview 113.

  • RichieUK_TTV Richie #SaveNeighbours (@RichieUK_TTV) reported

    @a516digital Maybe that’s what Freeview is using as the service for RT HD went blank for a good few seconds before returning

  • alistaircoleman Alistair Coleman (@alistaircoleman) reported

    Here's the situation: RT is OFF on Sky RT is ON Freeview in HD only (ch113) but off on SD (ch 234) Your mileage may vary depending on your service provider.

  • sedition3 Adrianne Sebastian-Scott (@sedition3) reported

    @FranS199 I sent a complaint to Freeview. I hope other people do too.
