From Wikipedia: From its launch until the closure of ITV Digital it was available as a bonus subscription channel. It became part of the Top Up TV subscription scheme until 27 May 2005, when the channel became available on Freeview, with the potential to increase advertising revenue by attracting a larger audience. E4 was also available as part of the basic Sky satellite subscription channel package, due to a long term contract with BSkyB it only became free-to-air in 2008. - en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org link icon read more about E4 on wikipedia (summary by Clipped).

Melody: Its quite impossible for anyone to assist unless you provide your location, this in the form of a post code or one from nearby (a shop / pub etc) as the signal levels expected in your area cannot be assessed without this info, plus you may even reside in a Freeview "light" area where only PSB services are broadcast. (PSB being BBC / ITV1 / HD)

I suffered interference on all channels which weren't BBC (e.g. ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 etc.). A retune has now meant that I've lost all those channels. I live in Hastings Old Town.

Why do you continue to use the word FREE?
In the UK you have to have a BBC TV License to watch tv on any channel from anywhere in the world. So not FREE as the Licence costs over 150. per year. Surely you are aware of this? Please correct this as what you are saying is not true.
IF YOU HAVE TO PAY THE BBC FOR THE PRIVALAGE THEN IT IS NOT FREE?
FREE MEANS WITTHOUT COST!
May i suggest you rename yourselves UK FREETV ( Except for the TV License fee)

This isn't the Freeview website! It's an independent help site for people with reception and technical problems.
In any case, your point is probably best addressed to your MP ;)
