  • LynnyH Lynn Houghton (@LynnyH) reported from Milton Keynes, England

    @FreeviewAdvice We have a relatively new television that, although we have retuned it, we do not get any main channels - BBC1 etc and several other channels. Could it be a receiver problem or a Freeview problem. Also takes ages to change channels. (Milton Keynes)

    @a516digital But why is the c4hd sound so hollow? It’s as if the DD mix is going to the rear speakers only… c4 on freeview seems ok, just the HD sound feed. Plus any washed out picture problems?

  • evilcheltdevil Chris (@evilcheltdevil) reported

    I know Channel 4 are having problems at the moment, but the quality of the Freeview stream of E4 is terrible - obviously very low bitrate and macroblocking all over the place in fast moving scenes. Hope it’s fixed soon. 🤞

    @mojomarconi The problem is sweetheart you are not in Europe. We can only get Freeview through a third party. Freesat footprint, since the new Satellite doesn’t reach places it used to reach. BritBox is not available in Portugal, although I would be happy to subscribe. 😭🤬

  • luminous_edge Gary P (@luminous_edge) reported

    @Channel4 As others have reported, you still have a sound problem with most of your Freeview HD programmes (SD is OK). Looking at the audio waveform I can see that one of the audio channels (not sure if it's left or right) is inverted. Please fix as soon as possible. Thanks!

  • denben14 denise bennett (@denben14) reported

    @hansmollman Still not working properly- programmes not matching freeview info or a blank screen

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

    After that flurry of activity, it seems reasonable to assume that Red Bee / Channel 4 still struggling with Freeview distribution in the regions. C4+1 in Midlands (not available on satellite) now repeating the errors of the past hour.

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

    @yulewalkalone This is what you would have seen from Freeview via The Wrekin. It has just fixed itself. C4+1 Midlands repeating all the issues of the last hour.

  • htwcentral Historical Television Website (@htwcentral) reported

    @Paliakythro_ann @FreeviewAdvice E4+1 is off-air with just a black screen right now as I type this (Winter Hill region); 4Music is showing The Box music channel which isn't available on Freeview. That's how bad the problems still are.

  • mickybnovels Michael Coatsworth-Burdess (@mickybnovels) reported

    @FreeviewTV is freeview down? No signal or channels during retune

  • AliceP104 Alice Pennington💙 (@AliceP104) reported

    @4Viewers Hi has the technical issue that forced Channel4 off-air yesterday affected audio description? Just watching #FoxysFearless48Hours and there is no audio description despite it being listed as having AD. I double checked and AD is definitely enabled - watching on Freeview
