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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.)

  • 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

  • DougMcfarlane59 Douglas Mcfarlane (@DougMcfarlane59) reported

    I actually like this Renault unit. Comfy, great night heater, DAB radio, small Samsung TV with working Freeview (more channels than my home TV) fridge, microwave only thing I don't like is the windows in the door panel for seeing cyclist the curtains don't drop that far down

  • ariadneassoc Simon Jones (@ariadneassoc) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Question - I normally watch you via Virgin - where I know I can't access Encore (yet) but put my (Samsung) TV on Freeview last night and got a "TPTVEncore is not available on this device" message when I pressed red. Is it a Samsung issue?

  • Beeeezebub Blub (@Beeeezebub) reported

    @RandyMack88 @AlexLloyd1 @BBCNews Your tweet made it sound like you thought it was just those specific things and that you didn't need a licence for things like freeview (when you do) just a tweet interpretation issue happens all the time on this bird app

  • GazBlades Gary Blades (@GazBlades) reported

    Arrived down in Portsmouth ready for another crack at the Modus Super Series. Thursday and Friday from 09:30am on Sport Stuff TV, Sky Channel 437, Freeview 264 and on the @MSSdarts YouTube channel.

  • rayedtolley ray tolley (@rayedtolley) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @newviv Am having trouble with no hd freeview in ryde isle of wight at the moment

  • dancemumjulie Julie Martin (@dancemumjulie) reported

    @FreeviewTV I have not been able to receive any freeview channels for 2 days now my postcode is CB4 2BS. Is there an issue in my area and if not what can I do about it

  • SkyHelpTeam Sky Help Team (@SkyHelpTeam) reported

    @elovabloke Hey Jeff 👋 You can plug an Aerial into the back to gain access to freeview when the internet is down, or plug a device into it through the HDMI slots to use. Thanks, Ross.

  • retrofan1980 Mark (@retrofan1980) reported

    My Freeview signal is crap tonight.

  • OnnaLoves Juliana (@OnnaLoves) reported

    15/ I withdrew my FREEVIEW content that never earned its keep, and essentially cost me a roof over my head. And yes I was bitter that one video accidentally went out for free, as it has cost me bricks that would have been something towards a deposit at least.
