Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Porth and nearby locations:
-
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
-
Ian Cleverly (@IanCleverly06) reported from Trethomas, WalesJust 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 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
-
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.

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
-
George Baldwin (@GeorgeBaldwin14) reported from Cardiff, WalesAnd 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
-
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.
-
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

Ali-Pan (@alison_pannell) reported@Jenny_1884 @whinestop I believe the BBC needs to change it's funding model - preferably to a subscription service as using advertising would have negative effects on current Freeview channels. I would like to see a system similar to Sky so you could choose your subscription level.

IamDrOm🗿 (@Iamdrom) reportedCan anyone from New Zealand confirm if the Freeview is down or is it just my home?
-
Jonny (@MisterBeergut) reported@photonvision @fwrenzo1 You will not be able to soon in the UK. That is why they are shutting down Freeview.

Jane Fleming (@fleming77) reportedThe government is considering the future of television distribution, which could affect the prospects of the digital terrestrial platform that is marketed at Freeview. and the public service broadcasters that fund it, wants to switch if off by 2034.

Vic (@cra46159) reportedI watch Al Jazeera - I get the truth from this site, & I'm more likely to get it here than from our own crap MSM. Freeview also on Ch 251. It's Arab, but good Arab 👍
-
Leya 🟥🟪⬜️🟩🟧 (@_Leyanelle_) reportedDoes anyone who sees this know how to watch ITV WC other than via the app when you don’t have access to freeview? The STV app is forced on us Scottish viewers by ITV & is utter CRAP quality for live footie & I don’t have access to freeview, I use a fire stick & no aerial. 😭😭😭

i am a boy of the eighties (@gilililibo99902) reportedThat's 80s was a 24-hour music television channel from That's TV that played 1980s music hits. It closed its linear broadcast on Sky and Freeview on February 28, 2026, but continues as a streaming service on FAST platforms like Rakuten TV and Pluto TV

x (@sk_tony) reported@Selene_Mariposa The law says you need to be covered by a TV Licence to: watch or record TV on any channel - via any TV service (e.g. Sky or Freeview) or watch TV live on any streaming service On any device. You can opt out n if you don’t do the above. So it is not a tax for simply owning a TV

Matt Quinn - The Caledonian Television Company. (@Matt_Q_OnX) reported@iggy1966 @BENEFITS_NEWS They don't really, Chris... However the 'Freely' service currently being touted to replace Freeview in about 15 years time IS a streamed service which WILL be available via set top boxes/inbuilt IP provision in TV sets and probably an 'App'.

Cameron Robinson (@Camlowandslow) reported@PeteBritish Freeview is all I have, and broadband. I would never, ever, pay for Sky.
