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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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

    the @BBC channels on Freeview are all currently down for me

    @di_burrowes73 @NeighboursTV @AmazonFreevee Sorry, I thought perhaps you didn’t realise as you were asking about the Amazon freeview service. Thought i was being helpful. Please accept my apologies. Have a good day.

    @winklepin @DanTillotson If you are still having problems when you retune, there is a Freeview helpline that might be worth a chat with? Freeview advice line on 03456 505050

  • adeypops Adrian (@adeypops) reported

    @AJ_Gay_Gardener @JonDev6 @MTennismad Never seen The Crown because I've never been tempted by Netflix. Too much Freeview and Prime as it is!

  • chris_mcintyre2 Chris McIntyre (@chris_mcintyre2) reported

    @AprilPreston_ You underestimate him. He's never recovered from the introduction of Freeview to British Society.

  • DaveP2611 AbandonedTrolley (@DaveP2611) reported

    @Lottesometimes Yep I'm streaming my games to my phone from my home network. I have a freeview tuner hooked up to my network, so can watch normal channels live anywhere I want when out and about.

  • CeleneHawthorne 🎉🌛 Scorpio season/birthday month🌜🎉 (@CeleneHawthorne) reported

    @vee4vampy No, it's a Freeview on demand service we watch it on. I think its called "My five". Vince retired/stepped down a few weeks ago now and it's been triple H that stepped up and took over.

  • GTyler1 graham tyler (@GTyler1) reported

    @SkyNews any idea why freeview is down?

  • Ucan_Call_Me_Al Alex White (@Ucan_Call_Me_Al) reported

    @LGUK is it true that my LG tv screen keeps going black because of an issue with HD freeview signal? Got told by your rep that I had to wait three weeks for a software update.

  • FawnyChai Fawny🍂 (@FawnyChai) reported

    @IHE_OFFICIAL It's been some years since we stopped paying our TV licence in my family and we've had no issues, we don't watch Freeview or anything like that any more. It's still ridiculous it's a thing in 2022 thoooo
