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.

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • AndrewxxP Andrew Pickering (Lord of Bolingbroke)🇺🇦🇪🇺🚀🚢 (@AndrewxxP) reported

    Allowing @BBCNews HD channel to drop out of Freeview is a huge error. Poor choice. @newswatchbbc

  • NickHackett2 Nicholas (@NickHackett2) reported

    @MisterTimmr1 As for sports I ment watching them not playing them, for hiking there’s kilvey hill spelt it wrong but type in to Google with word Swansea you see it. It has a tower on it for freeview coverage which is ok. in my area it’s bad. Singleton park has music events on

  • Jeffery22748212 Jeffery (@Jeffery22748212) reported

    Did you know a decision is to be made in the next 8 years that will see the demise of freeview. No more tv received via an aerial on the house. Meaning that you will have to pay a subscription for an online streaming service. Backdoor privatisation of the bbc!

  • leach768 Mark leach768@Gmail.com (@leach768) reported

    @Greyfoxp So I take it this is is why BBC News in HD is stopping on Freeview on 30 June to save money for stupid ideas like this one

  • allen_rob Rob Allen (@allen_rob) reported

    @bt_uk all your freeview HD channels keep have awful signal quality in last few days for some reason 🤔 has this been reported?

  • nvhstargazer Nance H (@nvhstargazer) reported

    What is going on with Freeview TV right now? Seem to have lost the Freeview Channels in the past 2 hours (something about the Digital signal) and now terrestrial is glitching the picture. Is anyone else having problems with Freeview in London right now? #FreeviewDown @FreeviewTV

  • UB5simon Simon Bye 🐟🔶 (@UB5simon) reported from Southall, England

    All those **** channels on Freeview and it's BBC News HD that gets the chop 🤔

  • Jonno1711 Jonathan (@Jonno1711) reported

    @poshabroad @dcunited How’s the game? 3 - 0 down! Don’t look like scoring! (Watching it on some freeview channel)

  • geykyn George Eykyn (@geykyn) reported

    Is there a Freeview TV outage currently? Cannot get TV box to pick up terrestrial channels. Wd be odd if aerial suddenly stopped working. Restarted Humax box, etc etc. It is an old box, but...

  • _oatc_ oatc (@_oatc_) reported

    @BBCNews @BBCNewsPR Why is BBCNewsHD being deleted from Freeview on 30JUN2022? It is the only HD news service there!
