  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

    @canveyboy1972 @Channel4 Apple TV is still broken then, from what I've read satellite was the first to return then they focused on freeview, I guess apple TV and other Internet based services are last on the list

  • 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

    @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.

  • Woody4563 Aaron Nicholas-Wood (@Woody4563) reported

    @BestDrWho @Telegraph And the British public are paying for this. The BBC are the worst channels on so called freeview.

  • KarlSettle Karl Settle (@KarlSettle) reported

    @C4F1 what's that horrible loud beeping noise on freeview HD, not on SD C4?

  • 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!

  • 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. 🤞

  • AliceP104 Alice Pennington💙 (@AliceP104) reported

    @4Viewers Hi has the technical issue that forced Channel4 off-air yesterday affected audio description? Just watching #FoxysFearless48Hours and there is no audio description despite it being listed as having AD. I double checked and AD is definitely enabled - watching on Freeview

  • freggyboy30 chris wadhams 🍻🍻 (@freggyboy30) reported

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