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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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)

    @neilbelieves Not seen it, it's on the list though. I remember it being quite controversial at the time here in the UK but I never bothered with it. Now I want to check it out, it's never available on freeview 🙄

  • MagicSky_UK Nick Francis (@MagicSky_UK) reported

    @BBCNews wonderful new Webb telescope images, yet we now have to watch on Freeview in standard definition as no HD signal 🤷.

  • Cosmic_Carbon_ Cosmic🪐 | Splatoon era again (@Cosmic_Carbon_) reported

    @MAGNETIC_DOGZ Basically you needed a paid service with certain companies to even get Nickelodeon, CN, ect on the TV. I grew up on the freeview channels, pop, cbbc, citv, all that.

  • GaryinScotland Gary Cummins (@GaryinScotland) reported

    @NeilClark66 How many pedestrians are killed by drivers compared with drivers killed by pedestrians Neil. And what ******** is 'The Great Reset'? Is that when you get log out and then log back in to your telly to update the Freeview channels?

  • scott_gamer Scott M (@scott_gamer) reported

    @Vanhalen20081 @russty_russ If you think it's bad on Freeview, it's probably worse on Sky and Virgin. When I look at the list of channels on my EPG, I can't help but think that some only exist for the sake of ad revenue.

  • RogSat RogSat 🏁🐓🦖 (@RogSat) reported

    BBC News HD being taken of Freeview is a major loss. Poor show, @BBC.

  • oliver_shergold Acid 🇺🇦 Mouse (@oliver_shergold) reported

    @lungz77_ @foxylocksy1 I have got Sky with basic Netflix coming Friday, maybe I will be able to see it. I had to do something to escape Freeview. It's that bad tonight I've got Heartbeat on. 😐

  • SamWak10 Sam Walker (@SamWak10) reported

    Anybody else’s #freeview what’s built into the TV not working. Rotherham/Sheffield area?

  • ReubenHerbert1 Reuben Herbert (@ReubenHerbert1) reported

    @thefulltoss @hainba67 Participation numbers in all sports are in decline regardless of whether its on freeview tv. The downward trend has been since the late 1980s. My research shows its more likely down to the fact sport is not played in state schools rather than tv.

  • annie_mel_farm Her Maj, Annie MF 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇪🇺 (@annie_mel_farm) reported

    Isn't normal TV/Freeview awful? 30+ channels of total crap, every night. What do people watch?
