I guessed it was my box, but since it's been mentioned here...

Does anyone else have a strange aspect ration? Mine comes up in (what to my untrained eye appears to be) 4:3, but when I go into a menu and exit it's fine...

Also, my red button doesn't seem to do anything on E4... Sad

Its all perfectly fine here at Crystal Palace although I have to set my box to "Scan Encrypted Channels" because it still says that E4 is encrypted.

If you press red while on E4 it will take you to channel 705 for live streaming and then just press green to get back to E4.

Yep, there seems to be a problem when E4 attempt to go 16:9 for widescreen programmes and adverts/junctions. E4+1, however, is fine.

Everything working perfectly on 14 and 39 from Mendip.

Having problems with the Nebula DigiTV - it stubbornly refuses to show the proper E4 stream - instead showing the 705 stream in its place. Only occasionally will it pick up the correct one.

Consequently, I've had to manually add the E4 settings to the 900s. Any other users in the same boat?

My Sony IDTV keeps coming up constantly with 'Selected programme is not available' and after nemerous retunes is still not showing anything up. It worked yesterday, except I couldn't get the yellow bar at the top of the screen telling me what channel I am on etc. to move. Now it's just not working at all! Help!

I've lost all Channel 4 channels (except 705 and E4+1) including ITV Channels on both my boxes. According to Digital Spy, it appears I'm not the only one...

14 is still tagged as encrypted on selkirk so the Goodmans boxes (with 4.0+) ignore it. I had to turn that function off and delete all the other TUTV channels by hand

Anyone noticed the new E4 idents with the band playing in the Big Brother house!


Not sure if they've had BB idents for a while. They did in BB2 with the old animated E4 logos (which should have stuck round much longer!) running riot in the house!

Tonight was my first night of watching TV since E4 came onto Freeview. Been watching BBC1 & UKTV Gold and have no problems but switched over to ITV3, the picture stayed on for under a minute and the box went dead. The only channels that this is happening on are ITV1 & ITV2 (no loss really) and ITV3 any ideas?

The only problem I notice was when watching Johnny Vegas you get that horrible glitch sound every 2-5 mins, same happened on E4 as well, Anyone else get this?

I thought that was him just trying to speak properly.

I noticed one last night with the band around the plunge pool. It wouldn't suprise me if there are a few other special idents.
