  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

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

  • ClaireMenzies12 Claire Menzies (@ClaireMenzies12) reported

    @TDTV_Gaming The reason for the BBC losing the streaming business is coz you choose crap programs for us to watch! That goes for General TV programs including what we’re to watch on Freeview we’re fed up with watching repeats. This is Why people don’t want to pay for TV licenses!

  • Gwyn_Dr Gwyn Williams (@Gwyn_Dr) reported

    @JBlairSco @eddsirr @S4C But it's not an "on-air" failure. It is an issue at a third party site when the multiplex signals for Freeview are encoded.

  • JBlairSco James Blair FRSA (@JBlairSco) reported

    @Gwyn_Dr @eddsirr @S4C So why doesn’t S4C have a backup link as a priority to the network? Regardless they were off the air to freeview the most watched platform for the channel!

  • 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.

    @C4F1 If you don't sort the technical issues out, no one with Freeview will find out anyway.

  • Minx_Princess Sarah Louise Ellis ♀️ ⚧️ 🏳️‍⚧️TRANSTASTIC🏳️‍⚧️ (@Minx_Princess) reported

    @a516digital @RedBeeMedia The problems caused by the fire system activation at Red Bee continue. Freeview Northeast England. Channel 4, occasional issues with ads and little continuity. E4, EPG wrong. Channel 5, Channel 5HD, 5Star, 5+1, 5Select, still running on backup.

    @FreeviewAdvice Oh Freeview help page not there

  • 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
