    People who have Freeview - is it just a one off cost for the box or subscription and can you record stuff? (Am trying to figure out tv options and can't get virgin and sky i think you need a dish. Aerial is crap here)

    @redial999 @MayerAgain @tvlicensing * I am aware of freeview, but frankly that service is shockingly bad in some areas, to the point where BBC itself isn't available in bad weather, which, frankly defeats the point. On a good day there's like...8 channels broadcast from tower the aerial is pointed at.

    @JoshxReid @PATVOne1 @4Music They did move out of the music section on Sky a few years back to allow them to do this. Not an issue on Freeview with everything thrown in together. It is poor branding though - same with CBS Drama showing hours of Judge Judy.

    @willsandry I’m watching on actual TV/Freeview. They’re still not right after the Red Bee fire/oxygen suppression system issues over the weekend. I think they must be broadcasting on backup systems.

  • Joe__Monty Joe (@Joe__Monty) reported

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

  • 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.

    @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!

  • 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

    @Trash_Panda_C Voyager and TOS on Horror Channel and DS9 on Pick - every week night. Not bad for standard freeview TV.

  • MixedRaceSpur Andrew (@MixedRaceSpur) reported

    @peter_perfect_ Oh big problem Saturday night affecting Four and Five and its sister channels. No sound, channels disappearing or static. I’ve never seen anything like it in the digital era. Freeview suffered worst.

  • tiggerwheeks Anna (@tiggerwheeks) reported

    @cpresland74 @Channel4 Same on freeview and recordings are terrible - cmon @Channel4 pls sort your sound out on HD and HD recordings.
