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

  • 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

  • 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

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • SaveCBBC Save CBBC (@SaveCBBC) reported

    @W0NK042 @UKChange The channel itself is closing though, on linear TV. It will no longer be accessible on Freeview, Sky etc.. - which is the problem for those who depend on it / do not have access to high speed BB. I could have worded this “CBBC is closing” but like you say, that’s not happening

  • radiolala1 radiolala (@radiolala1) reported

    @Forces_TV @archivetvmus71 I gather that Forces TV is shutting down on Freeview at the end of June?

  • LMilk007 LennyMilk007 (@LMilk007) reported

    @daisypops63 Diabolical....it caused me to run to booze shop and back .... however it looks still awful on council TV ( freeview) for the hours ahead although some #LouisTheroux appears in my channel hop antics

  • Notts_TV Notts TV (@Notts_TV) reported

    @Birdman9531 Hi there you should find this issue is resolved on Freeview

  • sheriffofknokem TrikiRefusenik (@sheriffofknokem) reported

    @VAS6323 Most channels have issues at one time or another since TV went digital... I can only comment on Freeview ..

  • KevS1973 HM King Flatlander I 💙🇺🇦 (@KevS1973) reported

    Public Service Announcement: Those wishing to avoid the hoopla could do far worse than go to Freeview channel 84 where PBS are showing Ken Burns' peerless American Civil War documentary for most of the day. *SOUNDS SHELBY FOOTE KLAXON*

  • Notts_TV Notts TV (@Notts_TV) reported

    @Christine0762 Hi there you should find this issue is resolved On Freeview

  • Polly_Phluid Polly Phluid (@Polly_Phluid) reported

    @RowdyRe80996794 @colinbrazierGBN Yeah - but only truly stupid UK people think it's just telly. BBC is state owned, so it's funded by a fee or a tax They have 6 channels of TV, countless radio stations inc Radio 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 - plus they run the the Freeview network that digital TV for aerials

  • Ihatethisdumbf1 Ihatethisdumbfuckinglogin (@Ihatethisdumbf1) reported

    @Polly_Phluid @RowdyRe80996794 @colinbrazierGBN Lying again? I don't know why you bother when a 5 second Google search proves you are lying. The freeview network was built off the ITVdigital platform which was built by, you guessed it, ITV. The BBC didn't do squat.

  • Nigelh7n Nigel Hurneyman (@Nigelh7n) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I've retuned my freeview decoder and got the 41/69 Horror/CBS justice swap. But I've also lost 64 Freesports and 77 Now 80s. I can't see that on your site anywhere. My postcode is HP13 and I'm on the Greater London signal.
