    @FreeviewAdvice @arqiva More disappointed, but I suppose I've got to accept it, after totally cutting the cord. I do have a tech question though. I'm using the Plex Media Server for Freeview, but the supplied EPG by Gracenote is terrible, is there a XML file of the one you use on the Android app

  • IanCleverly06 Ian Cleverly (@IanCleverly06) reported from Trethomas, Wales

    Just an FYI @DMAX_UK but you've just showed Series 3 Ep10 of #Archer, when the Freeview EPG (and your website) has you showing the correct in order Ep 9. It has the same down for the Sat midnight showing (ie Ep 10 is listed in you'll show Ep 9)

    @kieranjameen Kieran cancel it, my sister did with hers and hasn't missed it, you can buy internet freeview boxes now and you can download all the apps onto them, no monthly payments then, just for what you choose to, much cheaper

    @C4F1 If you don't sort the technical issues out, no one with Freeview will find out anyway.

    @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.

    @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!

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • KarlSettle Karl Settle (@KarlSettle) reported

    @C4F1 what's that horrible loud beeping noise on freeview HD, not on SD C4?

  • 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.
