Freeview Issues Reports Near Newport, Wales
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Newport and nearby locations:
-
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.

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.
-
George Baldwin (@GeorgeBaldwin14) reported from Cardiff, WalesAnd 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

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

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.)
-
Ian Cleverly (@IanCleverly06) reported from Trethomas, WalesJust 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)

Simon 🤖 (@uncriticalsimon) reported from Newport, WalesWhy 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.

Intars (@intars) reportedOnly the Brits could reach the top tier of world ice hockey and then have literally zero channels bother showing their games. Proper GB support: ‘We’ll die on the beaches… but not on Freeview, mate. Just pay €30 for the official stream like a proper mug.’

Steven Dawson (@Steven59066) reportedHi everyone, the government are making plans to shut down freeview and freesat, something needs to be done to stop this from happening to millions of people, who watch freeview, including me,

David Carroll (@DavidCarrollIr1) reportedIf you are a born-again Christian but have no church to go to, try watching the SonLife Broadcasting Network (SBN) on the United Kingdom's Freeview 94. It is also available 24/7 online, and on the radio in the USA. It is sound teaching, services, and worship.

BENEFITS NEWS (@BENEFITS_NEWS) reportedThe problems with planning to switch Freeview off: Many people still watch Freeview. Internet drops out or you get the 'circle of doom' and freezing BBC iPlayer when trying to watch something! Not everyone has or wants internet / wifi / data.
