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.

  • 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

    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)

  • CouchCommunique Real name goes here (@CouchCommunique) reported

    @wheeplumb @bbcpress @BBC Except you can't have public service and subscription. And how do you make people pay over freeview. And radio.

  • YHamster4 YHamster (I'm quadrupled jabbed so beat that) (@YHamster4) reported

    @bbcthree I didn't know it had gone. It is one of those Freeview channels, full of shite, that you never stop on when channel hopping.

  • Dezos1984 Derek Liddle (@Dezos1984) reported

    .@ITV4 I get ITV4 through Freeview and, for a couple of days now, the signal has been very poor, with visual and audio break-up. I’ve re-tuned the TV, but this hasn’t helped. Any ideas on what is causing this?

  • looplady Louise Rossiter 💙 (@looplady) reported

    @simontucker1979 Or if it was on S4C it would be on after 9pm... like TFI Friday. My mind was blown when we could get Channel 4 through Freeview or whatever... I never knew TFI was a 6pm show!

  • harajukulandon Chantelle Landon (@harajukulandon) reported

    @janetlucas728 @andjustice4some It is getting expensive yes. I had freeview, but my tv broke down Last year. So I have nothing now. I just watch stuff online. It doesn't really bother me tbh. But I occasionally miss out on a few things.

  • fab_seventies James (@fab_seventies) reported

    @SeanduineLeo I'm always experiencing issues with the freeview channels from that same transmitter.

  • empire24453 EmpireKicking (@empire24453) reported

    @arqiva Around Saltburn location and not receiving any Freeview TV signals, Is it down again..? Bilsdale temporary tower would be the nearest. It's been 48 hours since down.

  • HansHass2 Hans Hass (@HansHass2) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Why can't I get the Horror Bites app on Freeview? Or view the Horror channel on demand service? Cheers

  • Nick2169Bruce N B P (@Nick2169Bruce) reported

    @bbcpress @JackEDeakin @BBC The public has to pay for the TV licence just so we can watch freeview channels,£160.44 a year goes down the drain.

    Hey Freeview, I don’t want to keep pressing yellow all the damn time, make it stop!
