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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • DaveBStDW 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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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

  • BlueberriesRok Léonie #GirlySwot 🔶 🇺🇦 (@BlueberriesRok) reported

    @dem_cath The TV's awful this year. We're all going through a rubbish time, TV should be a welcome distraction for a day or so, but they are just showing rubbish. I have freeview and it's all like this, sadly. I hope your book makes you smile.

  • JEZ_THFC Jez (@JEZ_THFC) reported

    Anyone else's TV Signal packed up? #freeview

  • werwhatwer julie holland (@werwhatwer) reported

    @premierinn please can you tell me if you have fix your tv at Sandown seafront on isle of wight. As last time was there you couldn't get local news only Yorkshire news plus you didn't have the full freeview channel. I had more at home that in your hotel

  • WhenIsBirths Justin Lewis (whenisbirths@tooting.ch) (@WhenIsBirths) reported

    Still can't quite believe Cleese, who could have worked for almost any TV network in the world over the past 25 years, is going to do something for something at the arse-end of Freeview that no serious journalist or broadcaster would go near.

  • TheAndrewF Andrew F (@TheAndrewF) reported

    There's an old Benny Hill show on one of those cheapo Freeview channels. Obviously it's dodgy by today's standards, but more than that... it's just crap. So much for TV's golden age.

  • Julesgw Jules W (@Julesgw) reported

    @beckyboopta Same in our house but with random Freeview channels (never the main ones) not movies. Judge Judy seems to be one of the faves… 🙄

  • DawsePaws dawse (@DawsePaws) reported

    Public service announcement: Am watching 'Kenny Everett New Year 1979' show on Freeview 'That's TV" chan 65. I think Bowie is on soon.

  • Enefes3 Enefes (@Enefes3) reported

    @markthehibby I can't even see any TV, let alone weather. Flipping Freeview is down. At least I have Smart TV.

  • maisiemaria_ maisie (@maisiemaria_) reported

    So we don’t have a TV license because all we watch is Netflix, YouTube and Disney + but now I want to watch **** evening TV so I’m gonna get a license and freeview. Question: is freeview something I can pay for and download or do I need a box or whatever x

  • ChonjiGraham Graham Pitkin (@ChonjiGraham) reported

    @robbeckettcomic So not on Freeview? Can't. Oh well, never mind.
