Freeview Issues Reports Near Porth, Wales

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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • pdockerty Paul Dockerty - 🇬🇧 (@pdockerty) reported

    Does anyone know if @GBNEWS will be available through Sky Q? Or will I need to flip the TV to freeview (which I never do normally) to watch it?

  • Article5014 🏴‍☠️ Article_50 #FBPE 🏴‍☠️💙 (@Article5014) reported

    @LoubinWally @virginmedia Increase every April by CPI/RPI + 500% You know, these days there is an awful lot of old stuff on TV/streaming that is pretending to be new & it is going to take time for actual new content to catch up. I'm seriously considering just freeview & stable, unlimited broadband

  • Oldcynic9 GrannyB. (@Oldcynic9) reported

    @GBNEWS @jf_hanley I'm really upset we won't be able to watch on our bedroom freeview tv as our signal is from a relay transmitter & not a main transmitter. We only have virgin on the main downstairs TV. 😡

  • clubtr0picana listen without prejudize ♓︎ 🇵🇸 (@clubtr0picana) reported

    oh yeah guys theres this freeview musix channel called ‘thats’ and it was 80s on and WHAM CAME ON I WAS SO HAPPY BC I WATCH IT SOMETIMES RANDOMLY AND WHAM IS NEVER ON AND I GOT SO HAPPY peak of my life

  • quinn_rori ÉimíQuinn (@quinn_rori) reported

    So after 6 years I thought I'd come back to #skytv only to find out there are more access to channels on #freeview wow what a let down. Paying this package cost every month is gonna be a bitter blow. #scam

  • Obi1_Shinobi 𝐍Ⓘℕ𝓳ค (@Obi1_Shinobi) reported

    @Alichat66 @TheBembridge Nothing on freeview/freesat or don't you have that? I'm just going to use catch up service as I refuse to pay for BBC rubbish

  • BarbaraRowley7 Barbara Rowley (@BarbaraRowley7) reported

    @bagga2007 Oh no! Do you have devices for streaming and an internet connection that’ll support it? The Freeview channels all have free apps to watch their programs. They should tide you over until you replace the TV.

  • hammer_mo Mo (@hammer_mo) reported

    @AllisterHeath Of course GMB will be balanced. Red meat for the right on the freeview channel, alternative views on the premium pay to view service. I cannot wait to find out which advertisers have gambled on a launch-day slot.

  • Crocidolite11 Crocidolite (@Crocidolite11) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Yep will be doing. Just noticed you’ve also put up my bill to over £100 now without any notice. I’ll contact to cancel you can come collect your equipment and I’ll go freeview. Absolutely shocking prices.

  • IanDavies84 Ian (@IanDavies84) reported

    @bt_uk OK cheers. I will double check through my freeview on my TV though. I used to be able to get it but maybe somethings changed. Cheers for your help
