Freeview Issues Reports Near Porth, Wales

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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Gers89_ Greegsy's Gloves (@Gers89_) reported

    @tattoo_stew69 Their box is like one of those freeview boxes from about 10-15 years ago. No apps on it or anything. Poor selection of channels, reception was terrible and kept cutting out. They were bastards about trying to move back to Sky (even though they have a 14 day cooling off period)

  • cottam_anthony Anthony Cottam 🇬🇧🐺 (@cottam_anthony) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I was on normal Freeview TV and watch @SkyNews and it just went off twice but it is back now. Sorry tagged the wrong service

  • donk0802 Mick Robinson (@donk0802) reported

    @antonyrayworth @virginmedia I pay £135 and had the same mate I waited on the phone 50min to cancel it and they don’t give a **** they said drop the sports, HD AND 3 of the MULTIROOMs and you only have to pay £89. So that’s internet and Freeview???

  • Andrew_Willcox Andy (@Andrew_Willcox) reported

    @Richardt1850 @VodkaSrups We realised we watched one channel that wasn’t on freeview…we now pay for every streaming service there is and don’t even get close to the same price.

  • sussexterrier Kevin Beaumont (@sussexterrier) reported

    Tried to watch "Putin - the road to War" on PBS America and PBS America + 1 - 84/87 on freeview. Unwatchable owing to "interference". Never any problems with this channel previously. I wonder....

  • 1brokenpanda Zander 💙🐼🌹🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇪🇺🇺🇦 (@1brokenpanda) reported

    @Mrs_Quickly I wouldn't even steal it on a hooky box literally worthless. No intrinsic value, yet idiots fork out anywhere from £20-£120 a month for the meritricious crap served up by murdoch and 90% plus of what they watch is on #freeview

  • mar17014531 Amad09 🇺🇦🇪🇺💚🌍🌳🚲 (@mar17014531) reported

    @Centuries_Sound @scottygb I always wonder why on earth the BBC doesn't use one or more of the Freeview channels to broadcast programs from its archive. There are hundreds of wonderful old shows that never get seen. Wasted opportunity 🙁

  • Happytoberight Need to Know (@Happytoberight) reported

    @canadiancarol1 Returned your freeview tv and watch @talkTV channel 237 starting 25th April. @GBNEWS will have to rethink its crap news. As for the rest don't watch them either.

  • SueJaneUK1 Sue Jane UK (@SueJaneUK1) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I can receive Really during the day but as soon as evening comes it either loses its signal completely or is blocky and freezes. All other Freeview channels are fine. Have checked aerial, transmitter, my electricals & retuned. TA24 6AH house number 16.

  • rxtv_info RXTV Info (@rxtv_info) reported

    And soon BT will be getting in on the IPTV act. It doesn't yet have a mini-box, but its YouView TV service - currently a hybrid of Freeview terrestrial & online-delivered channels is also moving towards all-IP delivery.
