Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Penarth 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.

  • dave_maydew Dave Maydew MW0DCM (@dave_maydew) reported from Tonyrefail, Wales

    @FreeviewAdvice @arqiva More disappointed, but I suppose I've got to accept it, after totally cutting the cord. I do have a tech question though. I'm using the Plex Media Server for Freeview, but the supplied EPG by Gracenote is terrible, is there a XML file of the one you use on the Android app

  • 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

  • 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)

    @FreeviewAdvice You seem to have blocked this account from contributing advice to Freeview users who have not been advised that Freeview is fundamentally flawed and they are being forced to pay for a service that can never be reliable. This may not end well...

  • 2_Wheeled_Wolf @2_Wheeled_Wolf @ mastodon.social 🇪🇺 (@2_Wheeled_Wolf) reported

    The bonus to this is less equipment & remotes needed as old TV had no freeview & HDMI selector as only had 1 HDMI input. Tho the old Firestick really is slow compared to the newer one I use in the livingroom. Old TV will go off to charity later.

  • mikeasharp Mike Sharp (@mikeasharp) reported

    @Channel4 can you fix the uplink. England match keeps going pixelated like it does on a satellite feed. Watching on Freeview HD

  • UnknownDB64 Ben (@UnknownDB64) reported

    hi iv just brought a new tv it has freeview play iv plugged in a internal Aerial but it’s not finding any channel when doing a full retune please help thanks

  • Raxor1Robin Robin Taylor (At home 🏡) (@Raxor1Robin) reported

    @JellyTotPixel @bbcmtd It's the signal not the equipment that's causing the problem even with HD freeview this problem still happens in some areas of the UK, where I live you can't get it with a portable HD receiver, I have to use satellite. as Freeview don't work well.

  • jonwensley Jon Wensley (@jonwensley) reported

    @SteveLJenkins @GBNEWS And they forget the contribution to the broadband rollout, the subsidising of Freeview and Fresat, and the World Service that provides so much soft power abroad.

  • itstrisha_innit F’real (@itstrisha_innit) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I live in North West London but I don’t get London Live on freeview. I’ve tried rescanning my channels but it doesn’t come up. Can you fix this?

  • G8CYK G8CYK (@G8CYK) reported

    @Chris_Hill_Bsc @FreeviewAdvice It's not really good enough is it? But Freeview was never going to work reliably once most of the broadcast spectrum was sold to cellular companies. The BBC, Freeview and Ofcom have a major problem and are basically forcing everyone to use online.

  • WhispersAngel Rosie needs a new Hip, not a Jab Matthew (@WhispersAngel) reported

    What ******** is up with Freeview tonight?

  • pam_cabot Pamela Cabot (@pam_cabot) reported
