Freeview Issues Reports Near Porth, Wales

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • linktonian Iain Mackinnon (@linktonian) reported

    @noiseresearch My Dad used to call TV "chewing gum for the brain" I am watching less and less of it these days and have cut my Sky subscription down to the bare bones ( we get a very limited Freeview service of a handful of channels and there are signal issues in our area)

  • SPQPR1 Steve patrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@SPQPR1) reported

    @Miles28x No. Its a **** way to record. Pay a little extra for freeview box and it's like recording on sky box.

  • wewatchu2 Dan On Stolen Land (@wewatchu2) reported

    @victoria_racing I had a weird one from a service group but to do with Kogan lack of service. Can't see Optus in this unless someone is listening. Or reading..all I want is an app fix. Not paying for fixing freeview

  • christie_rudd Chris/Christie/Chrissy❤️ (@christie_rudd) reported

    @LauraRebeccaa @tvshows_addict1 @KCoubrough17 I'm watching it all again to get proper sense on seasons I haven't been able to see. Season 16&17 are on Freeview with ads but too many and then season 23 I found on Hulu got rid of that app because it was stupid amounts of ads every 2 seconds

  • findjoyeveryday joy♿️ (@findjoyeveryday) reported

    @SatonmyButt @freesat_tv I pay 2.49 a month to remove ITV adverts. My Tv signal doesn’t work well enough for freeview anymore. It’s well worth it! Plus there is UKTV app with drama yesterday and Dave freeview channels (free but adverts)

  • Julianlzb87 Julian Stephenson (@Julianlzb87) reported

    @ushasundaram @zombie_nun Don't stop watching just them. Never watch anything on the first page of the Freeview guide. It's a minor hassle but skipping down to The Smithsonian of PSB is worth it.

  • toastman . (@toastman) reported

    @ScotlandNT **** off indefinitely until these are regularly on freeview.

  • McHaggis69 McHaggis69 (@McHaggis69) reported

    @tweethue For info, right now i cant get any external source to work. My freeview box or nvidia shield. Huesync reporting ‘no signal detected’ on both. 😡 Before u ask im using hi end 8k new hdmi cables for everything

  • CAJBuckland Charles Buckland (@CAJBuckland) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I was watching Challenge TV on Thursday evening on my TV with built-in Freeview. When I went to watch the same channel yesterday, a message “service is not running” appeared. Why has it been withdrawn without notice?

  • dozecat007 Boris D'Burger-Zilla (@dozecat007) reported

    Abolish TV Tax, that's £10 per month into poor peoples' hands and there is plenty on Freeview. No excuse for Today and Sport presenters being made BBC millionairres #bbcaq
