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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • mynnoj P.G. Chodehouse (@mynnoj) reported

    ITV HD looks like **** on Freeview, is everybody throwing bitrates into a skip again to fit more trash on?

  • ReecePorter06 Reece 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇧🇧 (@ReecePorter06) reported

    i hope they never make it so sky or bt etc purchase European tournaments and don’t make them freeview cuz it’s so good how the whole country is on it

  • richard__webb Richard Webb (@richard__webb) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @GBNEWS i was so looking forward to it. But… on freeview the picture quality is really poor, sound is out of sync, and just feels like the sets are dark and badly lit. Took my focus away from listening to whats being projected. #GBNews

  • Lemonhunny Lemonhunny (Lesley) 💉💉💙💙 (@Lemonhunny) reported

    @TVRav Never mind the audio sync...on my TV (yes, I just remembered to go look!), I can't even get the picture. Every Freeview channel is fine (Sky news on right now), but GB News is just pixellated, squeaky mess.

  • DrewDavies68 Drew Davies ™ (@DrewDavies68) reported

    @BorisJohnson_MP I just switched on GBnews on freeview and Neils mouth is out of sync with his voice. Microphones not working. And a set that looks like a portacabin toilet. Well that’s a good start. It’s antiques road show for me

  • AlasdairIS Alasdair Stewart (@AlasdairIS) reported

    @AlexSelbyB @GBNEWS They are on every platform and service... Freeview Freesat Sky Virgin Youview Youtube And lastly via the Internet - guess it's time for you to log off!

  • DT100 Craig Williams (@DT100) reported

    GB News is like one of those local channel 7 Freeview stations. Awful sound, cameras out of focus, and pretty sure one of the cameras is in 25p rather than 50i. I was involved in the launch of a TV channel, and we nailed it from day one. And as for the content…! #gbnews

  • trashbagorange Chris Orange (@trashbagorange) reported

    @GBNEWS great intro show - had to switch to streaming though - as audio video sync was awful on freeview. Hope u can get that sorted soon. Sound start tho - keep it up! @GBNEWS @afneil

  • MrsTosser Gingerland (@MrsTosser) reported

    @JGForsyth @jfwduffield @afneil I'd love to be able to watch it but having problems with the App and via Freeview.
