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

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

    The man who invented Freeview Play has died, a memorial service will take place tomorrow at 10am, it will be repeated an hour later, and also next Wednesday at 12:30 and again on Saturday at 3:45.

  • JamieLinks JamieLinks (@JamieLinks) reported

    @BBC6Music i along with several other broadcast engineers currently shouting at our radio that there are still radio transmissions. DAB is transmitted as an RF signal. As is DVB-T - Freeview telly. It’s not all online or satellite!

  • GiannaMarriotta Celeste (@GiannaMarriotta) reported

    @Carti_Mandua @GBNEWS I haven't been able to hear it on television since it started. It is especially bad to day just mumbling. Al Jazeera and RT next door on Freeview fine.

  • OBAHIANO4 OBAHIANO (@OBAHIANO4) reported

    @deedollydee @GBNfans Channel 236 on freeview (it is on our T.V.), just a few channels down from B.B.C. NEWS 24. 👍🏾

  • kiwiwalrus Keryn Knight (@kiwiwalrus) reported

    Why is @TVNZ making it harder for kiwis to access their content? Why split your on demand content from freeview and require people to have yet another app and login? Are you planning on charging for it? Or do you just enjoy causing inconvenience? @TVNZondemand

  • UVoltmi Uri Voltmi (@UVoltmi) reported

    @Patriotic253 @StefGotBooted @tomhfh Anyone working for GB “News” deserves to be pilloried. The quality is dreadful all round; presenters, guests, pictures, & sound. I’m sure I’ve seen better quality 16mm film, & if you can hear sound (which you can’t on Freeview) the quality is poor. I’d be embarrassed to be on it

  • davepinnington Dave Pinnington (@davepinnington) reported

    @ITV thought I’d try and enjoy the football on itv hub as have not Freeview signal… yet again the stream has stopped after the ads. #fail #itvhubsucks

  • ronniet240 Ronnie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 totally 🇬🇧 (@ronniet240) reported

    Strange how on FreeView the crap programs don’t have adverts yet those that maybe of interest are riddled with them making you turn over to YouTube

  • Steven__C Steven C 🌳 (@Steven__C) reported

    @calexico65 Where I am there was always a poor signal back in the day. I remember my dad had a 500ft high aerial nailed to the side of the house at one point. Now it’s on Freeview but tbh I never watch it. In my defence I rarely watch NI News either.

  • Carti_Mandua LadyAnniSpice... #IStandWithIsrael 🔯🕎✡️🇮🇱 (@Carti_Mandua) reported

    @dpjermy @GBNEWS its fine on my iphone ...also ok on the laptop ... its just Freeview thats the problem here
