    @Outside_Margina @Channel4 Try obtaining Film on 4 or other channels with a 4 in the name on Freeview. Technical problems are ongoing.

  • burntcopper Heather Wallace (@burntcopper) reported from Falmouth, England

    People who have Freeview - is it just a one off cost for the box or subscription and can you record stuff? (Am trying to figure out tv options and can't get virgin and sky i think you need a dish. Aerial is crap here)

  • SteveHi52816694 Steve Hills (@SteveHi52816694) reported

    @aplaceinthesun It was bad on HD but ok on plain old freeview.

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

    @StevenNT Strictly speaking, it's not C4's mess, it's Red Bee's issue! It appears it was on Freeview only. The assembling of the regionalised D3&4 multiplex is incredibly complex and unique. Channel 4 providing regional advertising does give ITV some competition.

  • holmesmichael Michael Holmes (@holmesmichael) reported

    @Channel4 is there still an issue with the sound on freeview? It sounds like it’s being broadcast in mono and not stereo.

  • 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!

    @red_claudius64 @Channel4 I'm not sure whether the subtitles are missing on all platforms (Sky, Freeview, etc) or in all regions.. when the issues occured at the weekend, people on different platforms and different regions were reporting seeing different things as the services were restored.

  • mickybnovels Michael Coatsworth-Burdess (@mickybnovels) reported

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

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

    @FlissWolf @E4Tweets It also depends on how and where you’re watching. I understand Freeview viewers may be seeing the broken feed in certain areas, while satellite and cable are on the back up. Watching catch up content on All4 is fine, it’s just the live streams that are showing the broken feeds.

  • 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. 🤞
