Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Gelligaer 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.

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • thejohnfleming John Fleming (@thejohnfleming) reported

    1325. On a whim I looked at #GBNEWS on Freeview. The studio sound is still out-of-sync with the pictures. Oddly no problem on the ads. Amateur time.

  • markydeedrop 🅜🅐🅡🅚 (@markydeedrop) reported

    @tomhfh I look forward to that. I'm never a fan of Freeview SD quality.

  • GlynFordTV Glyn Ford Broadcast (@GlynFordTV) reported

    @TomSykesMedia Sorry, tried watching Lunch 12-13:00, and a bit of Breakfast on Freeview Recorder. Looks like they have confused “Test” with “Launch” days? Technically very poor and unwatchable. See you later….. off to watch paint dry…..

  • Rainbow_Worrier @Rainbow_Worrier (@Rainbow_Worrier) reported

    @darkdwarf @GoldiLevels We've never had subscription tv. If you have a Freeview tuner it'll be there unless you manually edit the channel list. If you ditched watching tv altogether, I tip my hat to you.

  • IrkthePurists Mike Scott (@IrkthePurists) reported

    @braintree_ Apparently it’s going out in HD somewhere, but the quality on freeview is shockingly bad.

  • LadyNakanoT Eliza (@LadyNakanoT) reported

    @Rastech919 @markmaycot @GBNEWS Thank you, yes I got the channel but as I have no outside aerial some of my Freeview channels have no signal even with indoor aerial and this channel is one of them, sadly. Will just watch on their website, thank you anyway 👍

  • stucordy Stuart Cordy (@stucordy) reported

    @GBNEWS Hi guys. Definite technical issues at the moment. Audio and video not in sync with varying degrees of separation and picture quality is not as expected on Freeview. External guest audio is almost inaudible. Just trying to help. You’ll get there 👍

  • gazfitzgaz Gaz Fitz (@gazfitzgaz) reported

    @tomhfh Freeview isn’t HD - Looks a bit poor. Any plans to upgrade it?

  • andyfalc Captain Andy ن (@andyfalc) reported

    @GBNEWS I'm really frustrated with the quality of sound on your output. It's crap! I watch on Freeview and the general audio is so quiet I have to double my usual TV volume and then many of your contributor's microphones are even worse. It is unwatchable, can you not sort it out?
