    @LuckyCedarlane @BBCAMERICA @ITV @itv2 @Channel4 @channel5_tv C5 is awful. All this is freeview too!

  • JasonDragon1975 Jason Ratcliffe (@JasonDragon1975) reported from Chesterfield, England

    @Alexand85266011 @femme_uk @GBNEWS Freeview isn't very reliable for me either. I'm only 10 miles [as the crow flies] from the South Yorkshire Transmitter, yet I can only receive 6 of the 15 HD channels available. BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4, Channel 5 and CBBC. The signal quality/strength is on average 80%.

    @bowlestrek Get your facts straight. Johnson is not in favour of ditching the license fee, as he knows it’s a massive vote loser. Plus they’ve now realised, they can’t go to subscription fee system, as the freeview boxes that the majority of UK households use, don’t support it.

    Why S4C has been affected on Freeview: S4C playout is at the new BBC Cymru Wales HQ in Cardiff. But the feed gets sent to London to be combined with Channel 4's Freeview service. The finished multiplex is sent to Welsh transmitters. The fire in London messed things up.

    @taneaspen I'll have you know I have never spent money to "see things" like that. You being born with bits and bobs doesn't really count as "Freeview".

  • farmfriendlincs Farmers Friend (@farmfriendlincs) reported

    All Freeview @Channel4 stations have just crashed! Never had that happen before.

  • SJIFreddyFan82 Sarah Jane Illingworth 😷💗 (@SJIFreddyFan82) reported from Castleford, England

    I feel this thing of channel 4 and 5 and Freeview going down was a publicity stunt to add to all the fuel crisis today. **** you channel 4 and 5.

  • eddsirr Edd Sirr (@eddsirr) reported

    @JBlairSco @S4C S4C is broadcasting, but the company that is responsible for distribution via Freeview has had a fire and when attempting to restore services seems to have made a mistake. It’s affected BBC to a less extent, the C5 family who are in recovery mode and C4 which is worst affected.

  • sbrad_shaw Sean (@sbrad_shaw) reported

    @MonkeySaid @lgtechventures LG DM'd me to say it's due to a contract issue between them and FREEVIEW, so basically - tough luck ,not ideal !

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

    TV breakdown update: The worst is over for cable and satellite viewers. Freeview viewers appear to be worst affected, depending on which TV region you live in. This is because of Red Bee Media's role in getting TV services out to viewers via terrestrial TV.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital C4 and c5 are back in oxford area on freeview, I've asked around, programme listings are missing on someones box. It's at times like this I wish I could help more, but I can,t get freeview at the best of times only DTH.

  • JBlairSco James Blair FRSA (@JBlairSco) reported

    @Gwyn_Dr @eddsirr @S4C Freeview went down. S4Cs links in the event of failure are not the best to this platform. As the psb broadcaster they would be able to connect directly, as sat link up or ip to VM. Saying it’s on other platforms doesn’t work with psb media. Need to universal access
