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

  • 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.

    @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

  • 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.)

  • 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)

    @MarylouiseDarl3 Do you use a Freeview TV or box? And do you use any other TVs or boxes in your house? Do they have the same problem? Fraser

    Just had a great chat with the people from Restore TV - who knew that there is help available if mobile masts are interfering with your Freeview Signa l! - filters are available free of charge to help with interference. @RestoreTVHelp @FreeviewTV @FreeviewAdvice

  • SmallCurtains Jen (@SmallCurtains) reported

    Has anyone else's #FREEVIEW signal disappeared?

  • Scott_Sweeney Scott Sweeney (@Scott_Sweeney) reported

    Moved house yday. Panasonic tv that fully worked before and got all freeview channels. Now in the new place only picks up about 10. Cable is fully in, but screen says weak signal when trying to tune. Any ideas how to fix & get them all?

  • GreatNumber7s 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿NineteenSixtySimon🇮🇪 (@GreatNumber7s) reported

    Replay of yesterday's game on Viaplay Freeview just now. Aaron Moy, what a game he had. Never put a foot wrong 👏👏👏

  • gurncrop gurncrop (@gurncrop) reported

    @AboutEG Might be worth following @DowndetectorUK. You will get alerts for things you don't care about, but it was a great early warning for today's Twitter problems, and that recent Freeview outage - answers the "is it just me?" question.

  • lostinfens1 lostinfens (@lostinfens1) reported

    @DanielFooksArt Twitter's a bit like flicking through Freeview channels. Most of it is crap, some of it is harmful but occasionally it's educational or even uplifting. It's also the top venue to make a **** of yourself after 1 too many shandies.

  • Ricky81D Ricky (@Ricky81D) reported

    @Toria8Jones4 As soon as they started charging to see fights I stopped watching all boxing even the free stuff, we pay enough already for a tv licence then sky on top because it’s all just crap repeats on Freeview, I need my history and animal documentaries to stop me going crazy.

  • LRichmond78 Lisa Richmond (@LRichmond78) reported

    Just checked my freeview recorder as the tv tonight looks rubbish. My options appear to be - cheesy early 00s teen drama - bits of wrestling - murders, murders, serial killers, true crime and murder. I may have a problem.
