Freeview Issues Reports Near Porth, Wales

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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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

    All hotels should have smart tales so ye can log into ye Netflix etc **** freeview

  • brian_damage brian_damage (@brian_damage) reported

    @a516digital Will this incident have resulted in lower Freeview signal strength? (Getting almost no signal from Wenvoe)

  • PrehistoricCat Tracy 💙 (@PrehistoricCat) reported

    @ShanghaiHannah @Channel4 @BritishBakeOff Would be nice to be able to watch it full stop. Channel 4 and Film 4 not working on Freeview.

  • ellzagirliegirl E ✨ ❤️ (@ellzagirliegirl) reported

    @ReannaParkinson @NOW It’s expensive even to add multi room so it’s even worse getting a separate package. There’s only a few channels I would watch on Sky that aren’t on Freeview, and I rarely watch catchup Sky, so it wouldn’t be worth the stupid prices for me either.

  • gempinkheart Captain Sandy (@gempinkheart) reported

    @digitalspy No problems on Freeview

  • MissMin15305666 Miss Minnie (@MissMin15305666) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Pity they weren't able to get on with the job sooner. Needs an inquiry into why Natural England/North York Moors National Park could delay it so long. This is an emergency situation for a lot of lonely people. I commend Arquiva/Freeview for putting up with red tape.

  • HiFranc Francisco (@HiFranc) reported

    @KellyQuilt Do you use Freeview/Freesat or a paid for service? If the latter, may be time to switch to the former?

  • AdorabullyBadge SGT BadgEner #TeamBadger (@AdorabullyBadge) reported

    @tweetypie54 🙄 nae gud at all oot telly ain't tae bad even thou only got councilview aka Freeview

  • KeithCP2 Keith Pates (@KeithCP2) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi I wonder if you could explain why 1 Freeview TV is working on one side of my room, But Another Freeview TV is not working on the other side, I am having to use Virgin on HDMI on that TV is that due to the faults your end? Thanks Keith

  • songbird_dee Dee Shepherd (@songbird_dee) reported

    @MoneySavingExp Switched from virgin TV to freeview years ago and never regretted it.
