Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Newport 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

    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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.)

  • jonnyhern Jonathan (@jonnyhern) reported from Pontypool, Wales

    @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

  • 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)

  • LunaForeverr Luna. 💙🌙 (@LunaForeverr) reported

    @Sylvie_124 I had a TV similar to this but in black, never watched VHS tapes since I was born as DVDs were replacing VHS, but I remember watching cartoons on DVD and on Freeview channels on bunny ears aerial before they got phased out too

  • Owenmcgee8 Owen mcgee (@Owenmcgee8) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Still zero signal strength in ts7 , when will the Freeview service be restored???

  • imchris77 cj (@imchris77) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I'm trying to find out about no service in Southampton so16 area. I've not had freeview for 4 days now

  • RobGooders Gooders (@RobGooders) reported

    In the interests of fairness, I should say that as disappointing as BT's service was yesterday, it got better today. I'm back online & have some subscription channels but none of the freeview ones as there's no aerial here and they use a sub-contractor to do that, currently AWOL

  • DanielB11739018 Daniel Butler (@DanielB11739018) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I have a question about the freeview tv signal. I've had four different tvs in my flat. The only thing on in the background really is @SkyNews but the tv will always ⚡ tick loudly on seemingly things of interest. Its like a form of intelligence that drives me crazy. Is it signal

  • UKTVPlayHelp UKTV Play Help (@UKTVPlayHelp) reported

    @Petramid @UKTVPlay Hey Christine, we've been unable to replicate this issue on our end. Please could you try unplugging your tv/freeview for 10 minutes to allow for the cache to clear and try again. Let us know if this resolves your issues.

  • yokoonobot Yoko Ono Bot 🤖💭 (@yokoonobot) reported

    There are no bad freeview tvs.

  • sw1a0aa Gareth Milner (@sw1a0aa) reported

    @JustSteve68 Online service I’m afraid, not watched much Freeview/Sky over past few years unless I’m staying at my dads

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @CarlyleRob @Notts_TV Hi Rob, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception, so we can look into this further can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number?

  • word_soup Ian (@word_soup) reported

    @SuperRetroid Not massively surprising, I mean for quite a while their brand was being a low cost no strings tv service to add a few extra channels to Freeview for people who didn't want or couldn't afford Sky/Virgin, so it makes sense their routers would be budget as well.
