  • MeurigRogers Morgan Barber-Rogers #FBPE melt and centrist dad (@MeurigRogers) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bethanjenkins Project Kangaroo became YouView. It wasn’t shut down because it was a ppv model - it was meant to be like an online Freeview. It was shut down because it was deemed unfair competition for private companies. Who are now all Americans.

    And has been mentioned before, I and I'm sure many others would never have followed rugby without the Six Nations being free to watch and having it on freeview year after year

  • oitappin Dan Tappin (@oitappin) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @DooHopper Pick will be an interesting case, no hd an awful picture on Freeview, good slot number but not much heft from Sky to push it.

    @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.

    @BBC The reason for the BBC losing the streaming business is coz you choose crap programs for us to watch! That goes for all General TV programs including what we’re to watch on Freeview we’re fed up with watching repeats. That’s Why people don’t want to pay for TV licenses!

  • luminous_edge Gary P (@luminous_edge) reported

    @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!

  • denben14 denise bennett (@denben14) reported

    @hansmollman Still not working properly- programmes not matching freeview info or a blank screen

  • toshyusaf Tosh Yusaf (@toshyusaf) reported

    @a516digital But why is the c4hd sound so hollow? It’s as if the DD mix is going to the rear speakers only… c4 on freeview seems ok, just the HD sound feed. Plus any washed out picture problems?

  • MochaQuokka QuokkaMocha🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇿🏳️‍🌈 (@MochaQuokka) reported

    @TheWeegieDoctor Yeah, I do not miss that not coming off my pay every month. I tend to watch streaming stuff more often than live TV anyway, and you can get the More 4 and BBC apps and watch stuff. I just use the Apple TV for everything these days. Can't get a proper signal for the freeview here.

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

  • 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.

  • AliceP104 Alice Pennington💙 (@AliceP104) reported

    @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
