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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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)

    Is Freeview down? #freeview #OutageUpdate #tvoutage

  • Northern_Steve Steve, just Steve (@Northern_Steve) reported from Manchester, England

    @mickmcfc1 I'll never know. I've pulled the cable out. BBC Parliament on freeview only from now on. They talk absolute bollocks but rarely about football. I'm in!

  • nicholasclark13 Nicholas Clark (@nicholasclark13) reported

    @FreeviewTV any sign of a Freeview streaming stick? Would make so much sense for poor signal areas or houses with thick walls!

  • GowSte Stevie G 😷#HandsFaceSpaceFreshAir (@GowSte) reported

    @arabforlife83 Assume bt tv box is connected to internet hub by ethernet. That’s what your bt sport comes down. Tv channels (Freeview) come via aerial. Connect aerial from wall socket into box, then aerial out from box to tv. For aerial signal to pass through to tv, need pass through setting on

  • little_mavis Mary Wombat 🐝💙 (@little_mavis) reported

    Right. I'm going to pretend all this **** isn't happening foe a bit. Anything good on the (Freeview) telly tonight?

  • Nintendologist Jon Bennett (@Nintendologist) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Over the past few days I’ve had to retune Freeview multiple times a day otherwise “no signal” keeps happening. Based in North Oxfordshire. Any known problems with the Oxford transmitter please?

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @SheffieldHoney @FreeviewTV Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception. Can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number and we will look into this for you? Thanks, Dylan

  • itspetersanford LegendPeterSanford (@itspetersanford) reported

    @tomhfh I have rescanned my freeview box and labelled GBNEWS as ******** TOM. Just to ensure I never watch the Channel until Tom has got a gig more in line with his skill set. The Beano? Viz?

  • ga2493 Graham Armstrong (@ga2493) reported

    @ukfreetv are there any problems with Bilsdale at the moment? Freeview website says planned maintenance on WC 24th May but no signal at all on 31st May @ DH6 2PZ.
