    @a516digital But why is the c4hd sound so hollow? It’s as if the DD mix is going to the rear speakers only… c4 on freeview seems ok, just the HD sound feed. Plus any washed out picture problems?

    @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. 😭🤬

    @a516digital Everyone I know at work who still uses DTT to access freeview have some sort of problem over the last few weeks, and they all seem centred on COM 7. I know it's not staying much longer, but I wonder if EEs New masts sprouting up everywhere is something to it.

    @cleanfeed_ttvr @Channel4 @channel5_tv I know not a huge issue but how long has C4's DOG been off? Watching in sd on freeview.

  • planet_leesti Words of Planet Leesti (@planet_leesti) reported

    @Traceyspacey1 Odd. Tho. In the olde days when I had Freeview in the house, a) the Freeview folks were surprised I could get it at all for where i was, but b) we picked up a transmitter near Scunthorpe. I never got local radio at all, it was always Yorkshire based. So definitely consistent!

    @jonoread Seems ok via Freeview, seeing tweets of issues.

  • lauren_miles L a u r e n (@lauren_miles) reported

    Anyone having issues with the Voice-over on #bakeoff watch it via freeview rather than Sky and its much better #GBBO ☺

    @Outside_Margina @Channel4 Try obtaining Film on 4 or other channels with a 4 in the name on Freeview. Technical problems are ongoing.
