Is Channel 4 down?
Some who were hoping to watch F1 have taken to Twitter to share their issues with the broadcaster
As one viewer writes: "what’s happening with the formula 1 coverage tonight?! It’s bad enough that you can’t show all the races or the qualifying live but the stuff you do show is unwatchable! Sort the technical difficulties!!!
Another viewer wrote: "Shout out to the poor techs at @Channel4 & @4Viewers tonight. I think it's safe to say @C4F1 will just have to not be interrupted by adverts all session."
Channel 4 has not commented on the issues yet.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
