    @offshorebella @NickUnitt Heard it is down on satellite and freeview

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Why S4C has been affected on Freeview: S4C playout is at the new BBC Cymru Wales HQ in Cardiff. But the feed gets sent to London to be combined with Channel 4's Freeview service. The finished multiplex is sent to Welsh transmitters. The fire in London messed things up.

  • 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.

  • lanyon_mark Mark Lanyon (@lanyon_mark) reported

    @NadineDorries I hope you are going to hold a public enquiry in to the lack of an emergency plan for the state broadcaster Channel 4. The channel is still down on Freeview HD after several hours, other broadcasters have been able to recover/switch locations. This is unacceptable

  • underarm_ace Lee S (@underarm_ace) reported

    @GothboyUK @Channel4 @SkyHelpTeam C4 has had problems all evening. Still off air in HD on Freeview here.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @danmooreradio It appears at least C5 has a back-up feed. C4 is restored - i.e. there is a working feed around. The problem now appears to be in the distribution chain for Freeview's D3&4 (PSB2) multiplex.

    @BBCNews Many in the north east have had freeview outage since 10th August and won’t return until 5th October. Bit bigger story than a few minutes on Saturday !! #bilsdale

  • eddsirr Edd Sirr (@eddsirr) reported

    @JBlairSco @S4C S4C is broadcasting, but the company that is responsible for distribution via Freeview has had a fire and when attempting to restore services seems to have made a mistake. It’s affected BBC to a less extent, the C5 family who are in recovery mode and C4 which is worst affected.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Why is S4C showing E4 on Freeview in Wales? On Freeview, S4C is normally bundled together with Channel 4's signal where it replaces E4. E4 in Wales is bundled with other commercial services, where it replaces GREAT! Movies Action. (1/2)

  • OurManInBananas Philip Livingstone (@OurManInBananas) reported

    @channel5_tv is channel 5 down - in London all we see is a service card on Freesat and Freeview?
