  • houstmon Forest Fifer (@houstmon) reported

    @Channel4 I'm guessing there are still problems as we have no Film 4. E4 on Freeview at the moment.

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

    There's also still issues with subtitles and audio description. C4's Freeview services still running on less bandwidth than before 7pm Saturday.

  • 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.

    @E4Tweets hiya Is there still transmission problems this evening on E4 & E4+1 on freeview & free sat??

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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. 🤞

  • 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.

  • cleanfeed_ttvr Clean Feed @ The TV Room (@cleanfeed_ttvr) reported

    PRESWATCH: continuing fallout from Saturday's Red Bee incident: - E4+1 seems to be off air on Freeview (thanks @theidentgallery for flagging). - Sound on some programme content on some C4 channels seems distorted.

    @a516digital @RedBeeMedia The problems caused by the fire system activation at Red Bee continue. Freeview Northeast England. Channel 4, occasional issues with ads and little continuity. E4, EPG wrong. Channel 5, Channel 5HD, 5Star, 5+1, 5Select, still running on backup.
