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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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

  • SJPONeill Simon O'Neill (@SJPONeill) reported

    @HistoryNerdNZ Only use the Sky dish foir Freeview when the fibre goes down (rarely as we get a feed from both directions).

  • Jamesalk3 James Wilkinson (@Jamesalk3) reported

    Oh joy. The United game is on ITV4 which means there are two options for those with Freeview. Either watch on ITV4 SD, which has arguably the worst picture quality of any channel, or stream with a major delay on their awful @ITVX app.

  • ardrigh Name goes here (@ardrigh) reported

    Weather in Auckland screwing with Freeview signal?

  • stanyanfan49 Roy Kelly (@stanyanfan49) reported

    @lizwoodcraft @TalkingPicsTV Probably shown again. But also on Freeview 82 red button, if you have smart tv, on their catch up service.

  • SkyNews Sky News (@SkyNews) reported

    'The NHS is under huge pressure.' 📢 Sky News is hosting a TV debate asking: can our healthcare service survive? Join @annabotting live from 📍 University Hospital Coventry @nhsuhcw 📆 tonight at ⏰ 7pm. 👉 #NHSinCrisis 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

  • BurningBridgett BurningBridgette94 (@BurningBridgett) reported

    @hoolatv Uh... hello? BBC News and CBBC have changed transponders on satellite, and Quest moved multiplexes on Freeview, why have you still not fixed the issues? I have a bad feeling when BBC One and BBC Two move transponders you won't have it fixed in time, which is problematic.

  • h_polba Helen Polba (@h_polba) reported

    @Michi_Midge Is this for television? We got rid of Sky Years ago as we realised what we watched was mostly available on Freesat and Freeview. We’ve never had wifi through them, we have Plusnet.

  • zeekidvicious 𝔃𝓮𝓮 (@zeekidvicious) reported

    @FoxyLustyGrover lol, this happens to us as well (we only have freeview), it starts to cut out when there's heavy rain. On Friday it cut out for the longest time it ever has o_O

  • 3_monk Monkenstien. (@3_monk) reported

    @virginmedia i will give credit to your guy on the phone desperate to try and keep me as a customer, and you have nothing for 15yrs loyalty other than a tv package we call freeview elsewhere, slower speeds and a landline i haven't used in 10yrs.

  • GailBloomer1 Gail Bloomer (@GailBloomer1) reported

    @GrantRustique it looks awful whether you pay for it, mental that freeview actually looks better
