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

  • 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

  • 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.

    BBC Three returns to Freeview on Tuesday so you may need to retune your TV or set-top box. BBC Three will be on channel 23, DaveJaVu moves to 25. All other channels between 25 and 85 all move down 1 place on the programme list. Ideal World is now on 51, TJC on 22. Happy retuning!

    @simontucker1979 Or if it was on S4C it would be on after 9pm... like TFI Friday. My mind was blown when we could get Channel 4 through Freeview or whatever... I never knew TFI was a 6pm show!

  • SimplyMetric Kevin Hall 🇪🇺 (@SimplyMetric) reported

    @miffythegamer Basically a crap YouTube channel on Freeview. His Mam will be it’s one viewer.

  • empire24453 EmpireKicking (@empire24453) reported

    @arqiva Around Saltburn location and not receiving any Freeview TV signals, Is it down again..? Bilsdale temporary tower would be the nearest. It's been 48 hours since down.

  • Dezos1984 Derek Liddle (@Dezos1984) reported

    .@ITV4 I get ITV4 through Freeview and, for a couple of days now, the signal has been very poor, with visual and audio break-up. I’ve re-tuned the TV, but this hasn’t helped. Any ideas on what is causing this?

  • harajukulandon Chantelle Landon (@harajukulandon) reported

    @janetlucas728 @andjustice4some It is getting expensive yes. I had freeview, but my tv broke down Last year. So I have nothing now. I just watch stuff online. It doesn't really bother me tbh. But I occasionally miss out on a few things.

  • steepstuff SteepStuff (@steepstuff) reported

    @FreeviewTV why is it that since having #freeview any wind, rain or combination of, and we get **** TV reception?? #craptechnology

  • Anarkii_ Anarkii (@Anarkii_) reported

    Hey @SamsungTV @SamsungSupport - with the new firmware 1903 for the QN800A, sometimes pressing right on the remote on broadcast tv, nothing happens, when it is meant to show the Freeview guide. Turning tv off and on again is the only way to fix it. Please fix for next update :)

  • sgordon_the87 Ste Gordon (@sgordon_the87) reported

    @russty_russ In SD it’s on 231, but on HD it’s 107. I’m not sure how that works but there you go. RT’s HD service isn’t too far behind it on Freeview either.

  • mickey_omeara Mickey O'Meara (@mickey_omeara) reported

    @FreeviewTV I'm still receiving the wrong ITV Region on Channel 103. On Channel 3 I receive ITV Meridian South which is correct but on Channel 103 I'm receiving ITV Meridian Kent. Freesat had the same problem but was fixed in April last year. When do Freeview plan to fix this?
