Freeview Issues Reports Near Pontypool, Wales

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Pontypool and nearby locations:

  • uncriticalsimon Simon 🥑🚟🚅😈💉💉💉 (@uncriticalsimon) reported from Newport, Wales

    .@Freeview question - how come the PSB muxes aren’t treated equally? The BBC one and the HD one seem to have a much better signal from Wenvoe than the “normal” ITV one. (I can get Mendip off a random bit of metal.)

  • 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)

  • 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

  • jonnyhern Jonathan (@jonnyhern) reported from Pontypool, Wales

    @Thomoli @PhilipsCare_UK I’ve been waiting 8 weeks for same issue not worked for me since I bought my TV. I dont have an aeriel tho just satellite cable connected & internet but no catch up aps work or freeview

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Ooh_Matron Richard Pearmain (@Ooh_Matron) reported

    The Tom Cruise War Of The Worlds is on TV tonight, the blurb on the Freeview listings says it "deals with adult themes" - I've never heard aliens in giant tripods described like that before

  • Ianhirst666 Mr Wazzock (@Ianhirst666) reported

    Just tuned into freeview channel 719 to listen to #bcafc only to find that it's Ogturd covering the ******* dog shaggers instead! Wtf?

  • beylul15 bey (@beylul15) reported

    damn i haven’t watched freeview tv in a while & I don’t know how to feel about that 😭

  • Nicky_Harrison_ 𝗘𝗸𝗹𝗲𝗸𝘁𝗶𝗸𝗶𝗡𝗶𝗸𝗶🇬🇧 (@Nicky_Harrison_) reported

    @colinphoenix @ToniHargis @punkgirldiaries I'm on #Freeview. Never seen it.

  • DSheight DwightSheight (@DSheight) reported

    @SamanthaMalin When we're over in Spain we've got a Freeview box with only about 8 or 9 channels that actually work. It's bliss. And we wind up watching stuff we never normally would in the UK with our 20 million Sky channels & Netflix. It really takes the pressure off so I get that totally.

  • summers_allan Allan Kempson (@summers_allan) reported from Romford, England

    @talkSPORT @Sjopinion10 That's a bad idea. Sky have rights to other sports too, so a netflix football service would be yet another thing to pay for if you like multiple sports. More football needs to be on freeview channels like BBC and ITV.

  • bradfordlad5 John, a modest genius 💙 (@bradfordlad5) reported

    @KellyKn32782125 @MrsSMHI @FoolOfLondon If you watch anything on Freeview then it’s from same transmission network all paid from licence, sort of an access fee.

  • JontoKaye1 Jonto Kaye1 (@JontoKaye1) reported

    @shannadelicacy @juliegrizzy I have freeview which has lots of never watch channels but it's free and meets our requirements. I do miss almost all sports/new films but I'm not paying £80 odd per month for them. Prime, Netflix and the rest are a waste of money. They can all get stuffed....

  • mmaconachie Martyn Maconachie (@mmaconachie) reported

    I don't like to be the bearer of bad news, but my EPG on Freeview is now saying #TOTP is not on until 9:30, and it's not the 13th December episode.

  • LadyHobton Lucie Ferris (@LadyHobton) reported

    @Helga_Otto_ @David_Suchet Helga, I don't know if this will help....I don't have Sky either, but, Sky Arts has a (free) channel on Freeview here, so I wonder if it does in Germany too. It is Channel No. 11 on the Freeview listing here in the UK.
