    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

    @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

  • PinderBanthorpe Surviving Baby Boomer 🌈💙#EmbraceBrexitMyArse Ⓥ (@PinderBanthorpe) reported

    P*ssed off with @Channel4 tonight. Settled down to watch #Deadpool2 - no HD, (on #Freeview), but more importantly, no subtitles! For the hard of hearing, like myself, subtitles are the only way we can follow the dialogue. Poor showing. 😡

  • alexwild891 Alex Wild (@alexwild891) reported

    Freeview 4HD is fine but it’s already half way through ‘All the Money’ so wanted to watch on 4+1 in SD Oh wait we got adverts on 4+1 Ah it’s gone again, ah no wait got the announcer but black screen… Seems they’re aware of the issues

  • JBlairSco James Blair FRSA (@JBlairSco) reported

    @Gwyn_Dr @eddsirr @S4C Freeview went down. S4Cs links in the event of failure are not the best to this platform. As the psb broadcaster they would be able to connect directly, as sat link up or ip to VM. Saying it’s on other platforms doesn’t work with psb media. Need to universal access

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • Gwyn_Dr Gwyn Williams (@Gwyn_Dr) reported

    @JBlairSco @eddsirr @S4C Sky, Freesat, Vigin, S4C Clic and BBC iPlayer are unaffected. The issue only relates to Freeview

  • 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

    @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.
