Freeview Issues Reports Near Porth, Wales

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • DTIF__ Song Sam Si (@DTIF__) reported

    @a516digital Just to add, looking for a legit service. Just want the basic freeview channels really.

  • ITVChannelTV ITV Channel News (@ITVChannelTV) reported

    📺 JERSEY FREEVIEW UPDATE 📺 ITV, C4 and C5 are currently still off-air for around 4,000 homes that receive Freeview from a mast at La Collette. As Channel TV does not operate the transmitter, we're unable to confirm a timescale for when the full service will be restored. (1/2)

  • MediaBoyUK Media Boy UK (@MediaBoyUK) reported

    Note: Freeview web site says NOW 80s, Clubland TV and NOW 90s is NO LONGER broadcasting on the Manchester TV Network.

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    @DTIF__ As per article, Freeview is preparing for IP fallback giving users access to Freeview channels via IP. This will be built into newer Freeview Play models as part of CLM support.

  • LEJenksBrown L E Jenks-Brown ✏️🏺🖊 (@LEJenksBrown) reported

    Help. @Legend__Channel has disappeared from our sitting room tv (but not our bedroom tv?) and it’s pretty much all we watch at this point. We also had it on Freeview 69, not 41 as officially listed - neither of those channels even now exist on our tv. Mystified.

  • RPluto17 RiskiestPluto17 (@RPluto17) reported

    @MillieMatters @GaryLineker Well it was useful advice. It's not my problem that you decide not to act on it. So, you're not forced to pay a licence fee. You choose to so you can watch Freeview. You have internet on your phone that you can tether to another device btw.

  • tomasibray Tomasi Bray 🧢 (@tomasibray) reported

    I never watch freeview ...

  • catrinfenton Cat (@catrinfenton) reported

    @michaeligoe Freeview!! stupid Twitter!!

  • KeithCambs Keith Moss (@KeithCambs) reported

    @cleanfeed_ttvr Just need Freeview to get another one or more of their multiplexes converted to DVB-T2 to improve capacity and support more HD channels. PSB1 and PSB3 could still remain using DVB-T to provide a basic service to older devices.

  • TheKingisKauto Patrick Anthony (@TheKingisKauto) reported

    @JimKarasBoxing I have no boxing business experience, I’ll say that part first. But surely that was the type of fight you sell to a regular freeview tv audience to build up interest/excitement in a fighter for a bigger fight on ppv down the line.
