    @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

  • DavidSwindells1 David Swindells (@DavidSwindells1) reported from Macclesfield, England

    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

  • thelobsterboy Paul Smith (@thelobsterboy) reported from Manchester, England

    I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Stuartpb1 Stuart Broadhurst (@Stuartpb1) reported

    @dougmcfarlane41 And freeview is down🤔

  • 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

  • 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.

  • SteveHi52816694 Steve Hills (@SteveHi52816694) reported

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