@willsandry I’m watching on actual TV/Freeview. They’re still not right after the Red Bee fire/oxygen suppression system issues over the weekend. I think they must be broadcasting on backup systems.

@dougmcfarlane41 @NickyAACampbell @bbc5live There was something on the radio the other day about claiming money from companies who don’t provide paid internet services after so many days. I guess freeview wouldn’t be included. What is the actual problem, have they said?

@LeeYates82 @virginmedia It is the same issue on the sky and freeview /freesat platforms. No subtitles on any of the 12 channel 4 channels and issues with BBC and Channel 5.

@virginmedia Just checked my bill, you are adding £24 a month, when I have zero usage on phone, basic 100mb fibre and basic mixit TV package which is paramount to freeview, sorry not getting fleeced by you, when you aren’t even providing a half decent service

@cleanfeed_ttvr @Channel4 @channel5_tv I know not a huge issue but how long has C4's DOG been off? Watching in sd on freeview.

(/2) ...you risk losing your Sky EPG slot, at least temporarily. Note that E4+1 is showing an off air caption on Freeview, but it's running normally on satellite. If it was the other way, there would be trouble.

@FreeviewAdvice is there a Freeview box that cuts out the need for an Ariel and pick up the signal on WiFi from my router to stream it to my TV in my bedroom

@Maxiwacks @Channel4 it more seems to affect channel 4 HD then certain programmes but it also seems to act differently depending on what service your using, such as satellite cable and freeview, or internet services which are mostly broken

@FlissWolf @E4Tweets It also depends on how and where you’re watching. I understand Freeview viewers may be seeing the broken feed in certain areas, while satellite and cable are on the back up. Watching catch up content on All4 is fine, it’s just the live streams that are showing the broken feeds.

@peter_perfect_ Oh big problem Saturday night affecting Four and Five and its sister channels. No sound, channels disappearing or static. I’ve never seen anything like it in the digital era. Freeview suffered worst.
