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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • uncriticalsimon Simon 🤖 (@uncriticalsimon) reported from Newport, Wales

    Why is the BBC World Service so hard to obtain EXCEPT in the one area which is explicitly not the target audience? In the UK the World Service is available 24/7 on DAB and I think Freeview and Freesat/Sky.

    @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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • Pauljohnsoneggs Paul Johnson (@Pauljohnsoneggs) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Thanks for the info but resetting the box does not help. The new update and software installed is too much for these black boxes. Are you not releasing a better box to support such an update ? The 4k box doesnt have freeview, not sure why it's even a box..... thank you!

  • hyphenTab smallpuff (@hyphenTab) reported

    We don’t have Freeview at home never bothered to get it installed. Spending a couple days at the beach and switched on the tv and omg Suzanne Paul is still there, she’s like an operating system relic you can’t dispose of.

  • smileykirstie Kirstie Wright (@smileykirstie) reported

    @Mr_Sanch We have ours separate to have more flexibility. We just took out broadband with virgin for £24 a month for 100/mbps (I think) and then just use Freeview plus our Roku and other streaming apps for the rest of our tv. Rather than paying for channels we never use..

  • DaveyBoi73 Dave ♿️ Esq (@DaveyBoi73) reported

    @MarkBlackmore33 @StuartYoung001 @RealPaulMartin I only have the virgin media version of freeview so it's not worth me asking for the new box. If I could find a great stable streaming service for free then I would get rid of the VM TV.

  • aliduggers Ali Dugdale (@aliduggers) reported

    @NationalTheatre @Mrs_UW @hillww1 It’s terrestrial if you have Freeview, which I don’t, or you can watch if you have Now, which I don’t, or Sky, which I don’t... I do have National Theatre On Demand, to support the National while it’s shut, but it’s not available there. Such a shame not to be able to watch it.

    @samanthagf3 Is available on "poor girl freeview" anywhere?!?! **goes to look.... **

  • pcttons fugitive era ☼ (@pcttons) reported

    sunshine on leith with george mackay in it is such a terrible musical movie but if it’s on the freeview tv guide i’ll watch it 😭

  • agarethgates Not The Singer (@agarethgates) reported

    UK baseball fans let's face it @btsport clearly paid for a number of years' rights and are just seeing it out. They'll lose it like they did the NBA because they've blown all their money on Champions League and now the stupid WWE. Time to get a freeview box and MLBTV #OpeningDay

  • libertyIAB Liberty (@libertyIAB) reported

    I've actually looked at the TV schedule bc it's Easter, I thought they may have done something a little special... Have they ****! I'm so pleased I'm not reliant on freeview 😳 It's streaming & reading, for me forever now I guess...
