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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

    Because the board treat us like consumers we should think of the club the same way. As consumers we are paying the price of the full sky package but we're getting the freeview channels. Rodgers is merely the repair man here to fix signal issues. We'll still get freeview once gone

  • Whereistherider Sagas from the Sea 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ✝️ 🍺 (@Whereistherider) reported

    @yhdistyminen Hi, Roman historian here, uhm actually HBO was only for the Equites class, and Freeview was patchy (at best) in Germania and Hispania. I suggest you read a book and educate yourself. Glad I could help 👍

  • anon_opin Anon Opin. (@anon_opin) reported

    BBC Four shouldn't be on Freeview channel 9. That's a stupid number, more deserving of one of those crappy ITV stations. BBC Four should be on a proper number, like 12.

  • eastcoaststoat Ian Gray (@eastcoaststoat) reported

    @Janela_X Thinks it's moved the Ariel for Freeview so no signal

  • EnsignCheckov Dean Rowell (@EnsignCheckov) reported

    @janemerrow On Channel 42 on Freeview. b&w Season of 'The Avengers' starring Emma Peel.Some of these episodes I've never seen before. Reflecting the zany spirit of the mid-60s. A ventriloquist dummy that was a little scary? Perhaps some episodes were filtered out before a re-run?

  • LDHMarketing LDH Marketing (@LDHMarketing) reported

    @ofcom @bbc @10DowningStreet If Freeview is switched off in favour of Freely (which is good in some contexts) on a day like today when there is a major outage you could be at home with no broadband, now no landline AND no TV. So no idea what is going on. Is that sensible? No.

  • ShubhdeepSing12 Shubhdeep Singh (@ShubhdeepSing12) reported

    @karpathy This is one of the reasons why I wanted to keep freeview through antenna in my home. It offers all the new tele so I have to be a lot less intentional in wanting to watch something. This is how this stupid box was supposed to be. Now it's about chasing series and reruns.

  • LDHMarketing LDH Marketing (@LDHMarketing) reported

    @ofcom If your broadband goes down report it with your mobile. If, like Vodaphone, both go down, use your landline. No. That's on broadband too. Oh well, watch Freeview ... no that's going soon with Freely. Can you see why moving to 100% broadband delivery is not a good idea?

  • DavidLongbenton David Alexander (@DavidLongbenton) reported

    @irisfurnham @Jenny_1884 There'd still be freeview....==loads of other channels. People only using "Freeview" have to pay the BBC to watch "free" channels even if they never watch BBC, the system is corrupt.

  • EastLight Ollie (@EastLight) reported

    @GBNEWS - "Going subscription would result in those without internet losing access." ❌ INCORRECT - Freeview supports securely encrypted Pay TV. Every Freeview TV has a card slot (CI) on the rear for a viewing card. It was previously used in UK by "TopUp TV", without any problems. (3of4)
