  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

  • chef247patrick patrick efc mc (@chef247patrick) reported from Bolton, England

    @steviemac2010 @LFC_NewStories Watch them cancel the freeview now

  • m7leicauser Andy Barton (@m7leicauser) reported from Comberbach, England

    @FreeviewTV Thanks to Dan at Freeview, the aerial-out retune x2 seems to have cured the problem. 👍

    Hope we don't get this warm weather very often.#freeview doesn't work because of the high atmospheric pressure apparently. How am I going to watch #loveisland

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • 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.

  • 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

  • knit1slip1psso Plane Jane 🇪🇺 (@knit1slip1psso) reported

    @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. 😭🤬

  • 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.

  • SteveHi52816694 Steve Hills (@SteveHi52816694) reported

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

  • 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.

  • borristhepanda Borris the Panda (@borristhepanda) reported

    @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.

  • Joe__Monty Joe (@Joe__Monty) reported

    Is anyone's Freeview still not working in Teesside? Getting ridiculous now.

  • 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.

  • mickybnovels Michael Coatsworth-Burdess (@mickybnovels) reported

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