Freeview Issues Reports Near Gelligaer, Wales

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.)

  • 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

  • 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.

    @ITV @FreeviewTV Have any issues been reported to you? My Freeview recorder is getting subtitles from all other stations, including ITV, it is just ITV3. Thanks.

  • RichardBull55 Richard🦅🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇦 (@RichardBull55) reported

    Why have itvhub stopped freeview support on a range of tvs?

  • mag_outer OLM-OuterLimitsMag2023 (@mag_outer) reported

    @bbcburnsy sounds like the lads heads are remaining positive, even though 0-1 down. Unlike previous gamez... Come on lads you can do this. ( listening on freeview and sound cuts out occasionally).

  • SophieFul14 Sophie (@SophieFul14) reported

    @fiery_mahogal @UlsterRugby If your tv has saorview it will work on the 800 numbers. Never works on normal freeview.

  • enolapycroft enola | saw skz 28.7.19!! (@enolapycroft) reported

    I even tried to accept through advanced settings > freeview settings. I clicked terms and conditions and accept, still won’t accept the terms. Is this a freeview play issue or an issue with the tv?

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    At launch, BBC and Crown Castle multiplexes could only carry four SD channels each. This was the trade off between a robust signal and capacity. • At the time, Freeview had to use low power as it was shoehorned in around high power analogue broadcasts.

  • imalexwatson Alex Watson (@imalexwatson) reported

    @BartholomewJill @ITVChannelTV We've not heard anything yet, sorry! It's about 4,000 homes which receive their Freeview signal from La Collette which are affected.

  • KeithCambs Keith Moss (@KeithCambs) reported

    @cleanfeed_ttvr Just need Freeview to get another one or more of their multiplexes converted to DVB-T2 to improve capacity and support more HD channels. PSB1 and PSB3 could still remain using DVB-T to provide a basic service to older devices.

  • AnneCardwell4 Anne Cardwell (@AnneCardwell4) reported

    @UKtodayUK I am absolutely disgusted that for months now I've had problems with Freeview. Time it was sorted out ASAP. Trying to watch a film, on, off. Think we should get some compensation from the TV licence.

  • Helio_Spherical Nat (@Helio_Spherical) reported

    @TrippyPip @DreyfusJames QVC TV is a rabbit hole I never wish to go down again lol Thank goodness I no longer have freeview type tv!
