Freeview Issues Reports Near Porth, Wales

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Porth and nearby locations:

  • KAK_Tweets Krys Cross! Cha Cha Real Smooth (@KAK_Tweets) reported from Treorchy, Wales

    @flickeringflxme I’ve never seen that one myself but somehow my granddad ended up buying it for himself which was made weirder by the fact he only had freeview so didn’t even have Disney Channel. He loved it though

  • MeurigRogers Morgan Barber-Rogers #FBPE melt and centrist dad (@MeurigRogers) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bethanjenkins Project Kangaroo became YouView. It wasn’t shut down because it was a ppv model - it was meant to be like an online Freeview. It was shut down because it was deemed unfair competition for private companies. Who are now all Americans.

  • dave_maydew Dave Maydew MW0DCM (@dave_maydew) reported from Tonyrefail, Wales

    @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)

  • MichaelLeeLewi4 Michael Lee Lewis (@MichaelLeeLewi4) reported from Aberdare, Wales

    @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

  • GeorgeBaldwin14 George Baldwin (@GeorgeBaldwin14) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    And has been mentioned before, I and I'm sure many others would never have followed rugby without the Six Nations being free to watch and having it on freeview year after year

  • DaveBStDW Dave Bowden (@DaveBStDW) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @bt_uk Hi Aaron, I am in complete disbelief as to how long this takes to resolve. I don’t care who resolves it & not my problem he’s not in. I’m paying full price for freeview! I demand compensation and a quick resolve as this is just embarrassing for @bt_uk

  • oitappin Dan Tappin (@oitappin) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @DooHopper Pick will be an interesting case, no hd an awful picture on Freeview, good slot number but not much heft from Sky to push it.

  • andyAVAVsystems Andy AVAV Systems (@andyAVAVsystems) reported

    @Paulusdmc42 That’s the issue. He disconnected the old Freesat Humax, put the adapters on & connected it to a Freeview Box Then wondered why it didn’t work

  • Geordieonhol Geordieandproud (@Geordieonhol) reported

    @sophielouisecc I worked. I'm not celebrating. I've got financial problems of my own to be able to splurge on a celebration of a rich person which would them put profits into a supermarket who over charge on basic products. I'm quite happy watching Freeview on my TV with a cuppa.

  • SaveCBBC Save CBBC (@SaveCBBC) reported

    @W0NK042 @UKChange The channel itself is closing though, on linear TV. It will no longer be accessible on Freeview, Sky etc.. - which is the problem for those who depend on it / do not have access to high speed BB. I could have worded this “CBBC is closing” but like you say, that’s not happening

  • PeterCh94072762 Peter Christian (@PeterCh94072762) reported

    @ToniBeeson2 @johnburtons Hello Toni regarding recording father brown I am with sky so I can record and record and save them up to watch but if I decided to cancel and use the box as a Freeview box you can't record on them you can only watch TV programmes unless you have got a dvd recorder set up 2 record

  • nufcJonny96 Jonny Eves (@nufcJonny96) reported

    How bad is normal Freeview television. Wow

  • Dorset_Owl Dorset Owl (@Dorset_Owl) reported

    @MsAlliance @SkyNews In Bromley?!? ******, I thought Dorset was cut off ! (I'm talking about the Freeview service on channel 233 not the subscription service - just in case that's what you thought.)

  • SkyNews Sky News (@SkyNews) reported

    Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell and Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis join #KayBurley at 8:30am to discuss the service of thanksgiving for the #PlatinumJubilee celebrations. 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

  • Oxford1001 S F 🇺🇦 (@Oxford1001) reported

    @Stroudgreenguy If you are using Freeview it’s going to be a poor signal from your Ariel

  • HD2onPBdotcom Brian Corbett (@HD2onPBdotcom) reported

    @rogermosey Work on the transmitter near Manchester in the last month means that ALL BBC transmissions - national radio, local radio, SD TV and HD TV have ceased here: I cannot receive about 30% of the Freeview channels I have been getting over the last 6+ years. And retuning doesn't help

  • itvhubhelp ITV Hub Help (@itvhubhelp) reported

    @nicxari @itvhub Hiya, we provide subtitles through the major web browsers, or on iOS/Android. We also have support on some TV devices such as Samsung, Apple TV and Freeview Play but we're keen to get this support expanded to more TV devices!
