Freeview Issues Reports Near Gelligaer, Wales

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Gelligaer and nearby locations:

  • 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.

  • 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.)

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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

  • KAK_Tweets Krys Cross! Cha Cha Real Smooth (@KAK_Tweets) reported from Treorchy, Wales

    @flickeringflxme I’ve never seen that one myself but somehow my granddad ended up buying it for himself which was made weirder by the fact he only had freeview so didn’t even have Disney Channel. He loved it though

  • MichaelLeeLewi4 Michael Lee Lewis (@MichaelLeeLewi4) reported from Aberdare, Wales

    @kieranjameen Kieran cancel it, my sister did with hers and hasn't missed it, you can buy internet freeview boxes now and you can download all the apps onto them, no monthly payments then, just for what you choose to, much cheaper

  • 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

  • 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.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • brendempsey Brendan Dempsey (@brendempsey) reported

    Oddest cancellation, Last Night of The Proms. Oddest complaint, that there's nothing else on telly. Apart from ITV, Channel 4, 5, Netflix, Amazon, Apple, HBO, Sky, Disney+, Paramount+, Hulu, movie channels, and Freeview. Nothing at all.

  • RevDrDom Rev Dr Dom💙 (@RevDrDom) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @ToshibaTEC_UK I don’t think it’s an issue with freeview play, the Toshiba tv I have seems to have deleted the app even though there’s a button on the remote specifically for it. I was hoping @ToshibaTEC_UK customer service was better than their tvs, guess not. Thanks for your reply though

  • JohnMac92158577 John Macleod (@JohnMac92158577) reported

    I hope I'll still have a tv service to watch once I'm with BT as I think they assume I have freeview when in fact I get tv from freesat through a satellite dish and current broadband provider I swear to god I spoke to someone today who wasn't sure what's in my new order with bt

  • MaryJasper2 Mary Jasper (@MaryJasper2) reported from Penzance, England

    @GBNEWS I am subscribed to GB News on YouTube but can’t seem to get it live. Freeview 236 has no watchable signal this morning. Please can anyone advise?

  • juliesharp86 👉 Julie 👈 (@juliesharp86) reported

    Seen as everyone keeps telling me how bad GB News 236 on Freeview is. I have decided to watch it for todays bad news.

  • brianmcghee1 Brian Mcghee (@brianmcghee1) reported

    @62Sauzee @Record_Sport We tried SPFL tv when we had to rely on people having sky dishes, cable or freeview which was much more expensive. Now in the days of fibre broadband that problem doesn’t exist anyone can live stream you just need the equipment which we already have

  • under_toned Wendy Ogden-Hill (@under_toned) reported

    How to save money on #SKY. Just leave. When they offer you a deal to stay (the one they should have offered you as a loyal customer) say no. Leave. Get Amazon and Netflix and Freeview and save bundles. Oh, and after a couple of months I got offered SkyQ for £5 a month. Nope ta.

  • adhodgson Andrew Hodgson (@adhodgson) reported

    Does anyone know if ITV had issues with their audio description on Freeview HD channel 103 lately and if its safe to record ITV HD now? I was reading there were issues on that channel back in the summer. Want to start recording the winter season programmes.

  • jcrocker356 John🐶💜🎭🇮🇹🇪🇸🇵🇪🇪🇺 (@jcrocker356) reported

    @EdwardJDavey £500 increase over 12 months is only £41 a month. Just cancel the Sky subscription and get Freeview

  • antonio_catta Antonio Catta (@antonio_catta) reported

    @ann958230 It's clear that you never lived abroad if not for holidays. (And I bet you're a regular Freeview Tv customer). It's useless to keep this conversation. Have a good day
