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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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)

    @FreeviewAdvice 21:15 5th July, no Freeview service on my Smart TV. Error msg 'not available. Other streaming services (Youtube, Prime and Netflix) all operating perfectly so not a problem with internet connection

  • Drumberny Seamus McCann (@Drumberny) reported

    @txurini @AntoKerr @CahairOKane1 I’m in Fermanagh and get it on RTE on Freeview, no problem.

  • picstoview HotPics.... (@picstoview) reported

    @BrawBandHome @CityFibre Come on how much longer for fixing the Glasgow / Renfrewshire outage. Can’t get online at all other than my limited mobile data. No freeview so need Internet to work from home or watch TV 😡🤬

  • Hiltonblackdick Richard Hilton (@Hiltonblackdick) reported

    @virginmedia cannot watch any great sport because TV signal is down AGAIN, watching freeview now not the same but no doubt you will take full fee next month!

  • Macronbo Ron Butler (@Macronbo) reported

    @talktoNHG I live in Old Kenton Lane. At least two flats in our block have reported a problem with Freeview that seems to indicate a problem with the communal system. Most flats use Sky. Tried your app but did not have the right options to report.

  • ZwitterelfZana DanielleZana🧜🏽‍♀️👽🐈🧝🏽‍♀️💾🌍🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 (@ZwitterelfZana) reported

    Horror channel no longer on Freeview and replaced by Legend channel.. I knew this was going to happen after RT News got the boot. I just can imagine the christofascists taking over the media saying it was demonic and **** … reality has become the horror channel

  • JustinC83062292 Justin Credible (@JustinC83062292) reported

    @AmazonFreevee if you're going to play the same commercial over and over can you pick something without the annoying music i.e. oldspice wavy, vacuumed commercial and your Freeview ad with all the horns. It's bad when you have to hear it all day thanks.

  • Fishy2007 Douglas Sinclair (@Fishy2007) reported

    @Susiebags It's been a rant of mine for a long time, it's just awful. England playing almost any type of match, live on Freeview TV, Scotland playing almost any match, no chance it'll be on Freeview TV.

  • h11rstie Stuart Hurst (@h11rstie) reported

    @TalkTalk Hi could you tell me if freeview is down in the BB7 area thanks

  • bobthe_dolphin 🐬 Bobs ar oglēm darbināms delfīns 🐬 (@bobthe_dolphin) reported

    @dontdoit61 Try an OS update. If you're streaming try 2.4 rather than 5ghz WiFi stream. Also if it's Freeview try attenuating the Ariel signal...
