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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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.

    @joti261 @Nigel_Farage @GBNEWS Typical idiot Remoaner, you must have found a way to cancel your Freeview then because it's on there too.

  • Humblebrag19 Humblebrag (@Humblebrag19) reported

    @LeeHurstComic Depends what the source is. If it’s SD freeview it will probably look terrible. Some channels are more compressed than others. Watch the HD channels. Plug a Blu-ray or 4K Blu ray (or watch a 4K film on a streaming service) and it will look like the mut’s nuts.

  • stuart10006 Stuart Harrison (@stuart10006) reported

    @annafriel Just a heads up that a repeat showing of the series "Broken" starts tonight at 9.20 pm on Channel 20 (Drama) on Freeview in the UK. That's all.

  • Bix_Barton_SW6 Flying Welshman 🏏🍺 (@Bix_Barton_SW6) reported

    @mwnciod @Greyhound_One Check the Freeview site. It could be your decoder. That was my problem as it turned out.

  • GrandOld_Grumpy Chris Williams (@GrandOld_Grumpy) reported

    @Jo_IsABitch Not a fan of that charlatan! Saw him whilst flipping through the religious channels on freeView here, the first time we got the service. Saw his audience, realised really rapidly, he was in it for the money, nothing else! Easy life being given 10+% of everyone’s hard earned money

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Most who I know have got sky and or freesat so makes no difference, but those who do watch freeview have problems with Forces TV, BBC4 HD, etc, the Great TV! Channels are all pixelated, and ITV ch4 and ch5 keeps popping and squeaking on the sound.

  • chrisalfw Chris Williams (@chrisalfw) reported

    @joti261 @Nigel_Farage @GBNEWS STUPID!! GB News is not a satellite channel; it is free to air on Freeview.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital But what I did learn today, is everyone seems to be having some sort of issue, freeview seems to be annoying many, with its picture quality.

  • MaffyBoon MF (@MaffyBoon) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice retuning does nothing.. no channels! Looking at the local forums many people are experiencing the same. Can you comment on actual service status in the SG11 area? Information on tuning my Freeview box is useless if there are no services...

  • wbxcvi Bert (@wbxcvi) reported

    @RealFibb @marcwatson7 Still got this Sky in the house never updated still the same. Same freeview box from 2001.
