Freeview Issues Reports Near Porth, Wales

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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • AlexLaverty4 Alex Laverty (@AlexLaverty4) reported

    @rickygervais I never watched it. If it's on Netflix I'd need to **** ma granny. If it's on Prime I'd rather shimmy Besos shiny we heid. If it's on Disney I'd rather watch Mickey Mouse copulating with Donald Duck. But if it's on Freeview..... trying catch it

  • 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.

  • JEZ_THFC Jez (@JEZ_THFC) reported

    Anyone else's TV Signal packed up? #freeview

  • 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.

  • past_sunderland Opinions From The North (@past_sunderland) reported

    Sunderland vs Blackburn is live for free on Sky Showcase (on Freeview) However, don't get your hopes up as they'll probably take it off air again an hour before kick off 👍 Alternatively, if you're local and can afford it, get a ticket and head down to the SOL #SAFC

  • Rachel44432944 Racquel (@Rachel44432944) reported

    @FreeviewTV My freeview has never worked

  • DJGaryBaldy DJGaryBaldy (@DJGaryBaldy) reported

    @yoothaismyqueen If there's a film that's being shown way too often on Freeview it's that film it's never off Talking Pictures only so many times you can watch it in 12 months.

  • gazbill61 G D ‘Peng’ 🔥🔥😁 (@gazbill61) reported

    @virginmedia **** service, no television Fy3 7df(which I pay for!!), no communication, freeview here I come #notconnected

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    Must be a problem with the Freeview EPG this morning as the #NeverendingStory is scheduled to end at 1pm.

  • HewiEdwards Wayne Edwards (@HewiEdwards) reported

    @UKTVPlayHelp All the other streaming apps work ok, iPlayer, ITV X, All 4, My 5, aswell as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. The problem is only with the Freeview Play platform.
