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

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.
-
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
-
George Baldwin (@GeorgeBaldwin14) reported from Cardiff, WalesAnd 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
-
Ian Cleverly (@IanCleverly06) reported from Trethomas, WalesJust 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)
-
Dave Bowden (@DaveBStDW) reported from Cardiff, Wales@bt_uk Hi Aaron, I am in complete disbelief as to how long this takes to resolve. I don’t care who resolves it & not my problem he’s not in. I’m paying full price for freeview! I demand compensation and a quick resolve as this is just embarrassing for @bt_uk
-
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

AvifaunaLux (@AvifaunaLux) reported@MarcCorbishley I've never seen it, I can't afford to subscribe to the premium package it was on. I'm strictly on whatever Freeview throws my way. If it comes up on ITV in ten years time I guess I'll finally watch it, haha.
-
Jon Wensley (@jonwensley) reported@Robin_Redway @RichPreston How do you technically provide a subscription service on terrestrial Freeview? If you don’t, you have to get people to subscribe to Sky or Virgin and/or internet access to receive the BBC. The standard service of both of those costs more than the BBC.

John Moore (@moore241128) reported@HXValley @tnewtondunn @TimesRadio .......and makes a contribution to Freeview and Freesat so makes me laugh when you hear folks say I never watch anything licence fee related
-
Supremehamsta♔ (@supremehamsta) reportedYou dont need a #TVLicence if you dont watch or record live TV & you dont use BBCiPlayer. If you cancel your licence, disconnect coaxes, erase all channels from your TV, sat box, freeview box & PC/laptop tv software (& any other devices). imho. Dont answer the door to a TV goon.
-
DeadFolkClothing (@dead_folk) reportedMy @davechannel has no signal on freeview and when I rescan my tv channel 19 has vanished altogether now. Is this widespread or is my TV on the blink?
-
paranoidedededed (@a_parandroid) reported@BBCNews the price isn't a dealbreaker, although if they stopped aggressively bullying those who own a tv but don't watch freeview, they would save a shitload of money and could afford to bring the license fee down, which would be nice
-
Simon Jones (@trfcjonesy) reported@Telegraph Crap Tele, Freeview TV. No Sound system, and hold on, is that a video Recorder ?
-
Political Nerd (@nerd_political) reported@nosketandrugby @DimarcoRichard @YouGov If I cancel netflix I can still watch channel 4,itv or all the other freeview channels which use an advertiser model.
-
M R. X. Dentith (@conspiracism) reportedFinally got to a point in the day when I could do some book writing, and Mum's Sky box started smelling of smoke. So, instead, we spent the time calling Sky to get it serviced and my teaching Mum how to access the OnDemand services (Freeview doesn't work for some reason)

Ok (@Obla_da_obla_di) reported@WilmotOf @MrKenShabby @PalaeoHan License fee pays for the broadcast network infrastructure Channel 4 uses - freeview and Freesat, and contributes to U.K. broadband rollout.
