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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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)

    @gregorybelton @BiscuitHalf @Reachingbroom The BBC licence fee supports the Freeview platform - no BBC and Channel 4 (the commercial side of public service broadcasting) - no Freeview. :There's no such thing as a free lunch'.

  • nemalki Jeff Harris (@nemalki) reported

    @breanimator Ironically, WarnerMedia is INCREASING Cartoon Network's footprint in those markets where Disney is abandoning cable/satellite/Freeview because they still believe there's still a market for them.

  • Ognjenovic Filip (@Ognjenovic) reported

    @AllsGood6 @DefundBBC I am just trying freeview again for first time in ages at my mums. It's absolute insulting crap. My decision to cancel the licence was the correct one

  • nicholasclark13 Nicholas Clark (@nicholasclark13) reported

    @FreeviewTV any sign of a Freeview streaming stick? Would make so much sense for poor signal areas or houses with thick walls!

  • Leemackie mucker (@Leemackie) reported from Moulton, England

    Help please Freeview tv. I have accidentally deleted BBC1 from the listing on my TV and I have know idea how to re add it. Techwood tv

  • DarthElliot . (@DarthElliot) reported

    @Cuppa378 It’s free because they’re contractually obligated to provide it for freeview. As they were happy to show the EL final in full resolution on YouTube 3 days back, not doing the same for the CL as the more important competition is pathetic.

  • ga2493 Graham Armstrong (@ga2493) reported

    @ukfreetv are there any problems with Bilsdale at the moment? Freeview website says planned maintenance on WC 24th May but no signal at all on 31st May @ DH6 2PZ.

  • chey_cobb CyberSec Chey (@chey_cobb) reported

    @VickerySec Here we have a pretty decent digital antennae service called Freeview. We're required to pay an annual fee for a TV license but, if you don't pay, you can still use your TV. Cost varies, but it ranges from £0-£150. They do use scanning equipment to detect unregistered TVs.

    @falcor1970 Hi Nigel, I am sorry to hear that you have issues with your Freeview reception. Can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number so we can look into this for you? Thanks, Dylan.
