    @traceyfromrasen @Kavismate @SkySportsRacing @RacingTV My Freeview signal can be hopeless at best even connected to Wi-fi but the HDMI/laptop combo works well when the cat isn’t jumping on it !

  • KanailadRm Ray (@KanailadRm) reported from Harlow District, England

    @currys your harlow store is staffed by complete ********* waited over 40 minutes after someone said i i would get help as I needed a tv with built in freeview, they had no ******* clue after 40 minutes I went to @Argos_Online and got one

  • 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)

  • etmuse Erin (@etmuse) reported

    @burntcopper if your aerial is crap then I think freeview would also struggle as regular freeview is through the aerial. And you can get freeview boxes that can record.

  • 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.

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @Adam_Peterkin @htwcentral They've now got an apology on the Freeview guide for 4Music stating that they're showing The Box whilst they fix the fault. The Box is being shown with subtitles.

  • 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. 🤞

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

    (/2) ...you risk losing your Sky EPG slot, at least temporarily. Note that E4+1 is showing an off air caption on Freeview, but it's running normally on satellite. If it was the other way, there would be trouble.

    @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. 😭🤬

  • FB_BMB Mathew Buck (@FB_BMB) reported

    I do feel sorry for Channel 4, who 2 days after the Red Bee fire evacuation that caused catastrophic falls off the air for a number of UK channels, still have technical issues: the audio on the HD Freeview version sounds like it has been inverted and playing in the wrong speakers

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @ukdtt Hi. Apparently there was a technical issue at the playout centre at the weekend and they're currently trying to restore services. On Freeview, E4 +1 is off air with 4Music showing The Box. Wishing you a nice day. - Matthew.

    @FreeviewTV @Paliakythro_ann @Film4 Freeview isn’t fit for purpose and never has been.
