Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Chelmsford and nearby locations:

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

  • nessymon Nessy 😷 (@nessymon) reported from London, England

    @MarketaDee @CNN Freeview has never worked for us for some reason.. will try again. Thanks.

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

    @traceyfromrasen @Kavismate @SkySportsRacing @RacingTV My Freeview signal can be hopeless at best even connected to Wi-fi but the HDMI/laptop combo works well when the cat isn’t jumping on it !

    @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

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

    @yulewalkalone This is what you would have seen from Freeview via The Wrekin. It has just fixed itself. C4+1 Midlands repeating all the issues of the last hour.

  • 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.

  • lukefrskz Luke (@lukefrskz) reported

    @a516digital C4 SD & HD freeview in the east both showing Find It, Fix It, Flog it.

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

    There's also still issues with subtitles and audio description. C4's Freeview services still running on less bandwidth than before 7pm Saturday.

  • Nolascana Mitani Hart (@Nolascana) reported

    @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.

  • freggyboy30 chris wadhams 🍻🍻 (@freggyboy30) reported

    @E4Tweets hiya Is there still transmission problems this evening on E4 & E4+1 on freeview & free sat??

  • 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.

  • htwcentral Historical Television Website (@htwcentral) reported

    @Paliakythro_ann @FreeviewAdvice E4+1 is off-air with just a black screen right now as I type this (Winter Hill region); 4Music is showing The Box music channel which isn't available on Freeview. That's how bad the problems still are.

  • holmesmichael Michael Holmes (@holmesmichael) reported

    @Channel4 is there still an issue with the sound on freeview? It sounds like it’s being broadcast in mono and not stereo.
