    @FreeviewAdvice My Freeview channels were broken up so I tried to retune, and only South TV channels came up & only BBC1, BBC2, BBC4 and the children's BBC channels. So I tried retuning again and I can find not ONE single channel. Please help me. Thanks

    Live footy fix from Poland on freeview channel 64. 👍

  • Mark2w Mark Walsh (@Mark2w) reported from Oadby and Wigston, England

    Flying ******* knee...just watching UFC 239 via the retro route. If it ain't on freeview on BT then that's not a problem, I've been watching this since '93. #masvidal is a monster

  • niksibley Nik Sibley (@niksibley) reported from Coventry, England

    Any ideas why MiL’s @HisenseUK @Roku TV sometimes puts itself onto the Freeview Play page whilst watching her Sky Q box? Even did it to me as I was navigation TV settings. Maybe TV or remote control issues? Hopefully unplugging/replugging will simply be enough to fix it…

    @LewisHamilton @SilverstoneExp That may be the case Lewis. If you really want to inspire the next generation. F1 needs to be on Freeview. It willl never happen though.

    @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

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

    Channel 4 on satellite is working (if you want to watch Deadpool 2). Problems persist on Freeview in some regions - this is because of the way C4 is distributed on terrestrial TV. Example C4 SD: E Mids Freeview: blank screen with 4 logo top left. North East Freeview: normal.

  • 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

  • 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

    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.

  • 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.

  • kevmoorhouse kevin moorhouse (@kevmoorhouse) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Oh Freeview help page not there

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

    @danmooreradio Fire at Red Bee. That's had an impact on playout, on continuity and for Freeview viewers, multiplexing issues (why services have been off for longer on Freeview than on satellite).

  • eddsirr Edd Sirr (@eddsirr) reported

    @JBlairSco @Gwyn_Dr @S4C There is probably an issue with having a ‘commercial’ channel on a BBC multiplex as well. It would make more sense, S4C would be able to broadcast to England too - and would restore Great Movies Classics in Wales on Freeview too.

    All Freeview @Channel4 stations have just crashed! Never had that happen before.
