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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @sgordon_the87 The first set top box we had was a generic DTT box, Freeview launched a few months later, Although the ntl Digital text service featuring subscription channel listings for ITV Digital remained for a good while after Freeview launched, with daily updates.

  • tommieharve t harvey (@tommieharve) reported

    @Elemjay1 Oh that's really fantastic - now I feel confident I can go into battle with my 'freeview jesus' sword in hand. He is so ridiculous, I sometimes really want to give him a bit of a hug. And then I think, **** it, let him burn in the toxins he spews, nothing to see here etc etc.

  • KingJimmeh ~Jimmeh~ (@KingJimmeh) reported

    @jonrog1 @Blankzilla It was never the content, or really the ads that were the issue. It was the tech behind it. I don't know about cable boxes in the US, but set-top boxes for Sky and Freeview and most built-in TV guides and systems for getting to content were slow and awful.

  • Sophomania_101 Careful, I have Sophomania. (@Sophomania_101) reported

    @mettderk1 @ladbible Yep, if you don't wanna pay for their service use freeview etc, they're private company's you don't have to give them your cash, Why should I pay more because you don't wanna pay at all?

  • L1sa130466 Lisa (@L1sa130466) reported

    @bt_uk our BT Box is not working according to Freeview from your trouble shoot section. Our broadband quality is poor also. Been like this for 4 weeks. I can't get through on phone. Can I cancel my contract with you

  • actiontiff John F Austin GCE "Eng Lang. 0 level" A* (@actiontiff) reported from Penrhyn Bay, Wales

    @Ultragrumpy No, 'fraid not UG I watch little else but Smithsonian or PBS on Freeview Box sets of old comedy series & Youtube Play the odd game of Croquet though ---if that's any help

  • elaineliqo @elaineliqo (@elaineliqo) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice total blackout of all freeview channels on our tv in Leicester since yesterday @FreeviewTV What’s going on?!

  • simonhardwick Simon Hardwick (@simonhardwick) reported

    Main transmitters (FM/DAB/freeview) etc will most likely have backups but I remember in the big storm of 1987 that wasn’t a huge help, only one AM station (BBC local) managed to remain on air. Worth having some batteries for your radio next to your torch. /7

  • Touchwood1066 Grizzle Guts 🐸 (@Touchwood1066) reported
