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.

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.)

    @itv2 Love Island is ****. My sisters friend Sharon thinks its awful. But my mate John says he doesn't like it but has all episodes recorded on his freeview plus box...

  • steve66stevie66 Steve Devlin (@steve66stevie66) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV just to let you know there’s no signal in North Wales on Freeview for your channel. Noticed it at around 10pm.

  • LBCbackOnDAB LBCbackOnDAB (@LBCbackOnDAB) reported

    @MartinD64044821 @GBNEWS Is it working on freeview/sky? It’s not working via their app. On their app they are showing an old @andrewdoyle_com show .

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @roseannerainbo4 Hi Roseanne, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Youtube app. You would need to contact the manufacture of your equipment for assistance as the Youtube app is not part of the Freeview service. Thanks, Dylan

  • LwtEmmaBird Sarah Harbour (@LwtEmmaBird) reported

    This is not good. Freeview signal has disintegrated in the middle of In the night garden 😱

  • CarlosHMiranda Carlos Miranda (@CarlosHMiranda) reported

    @HitachiEurope @COP26 Hello, I bought a Hitachi 58 Inch 58HK6100UB Smart 4K UHD HDR Freeview TV but I cannot pair the BT remote with the TV. I tried the codes 2424, 1739 but it does not work. Where can I get help? Thanks!

  • janeteastwood Janet Eastwood (@janeteastwood) reported

    @alan_jones Btw, this Luddite has just connected by new tv to my broadband for Freeview Play, impressive or what. Not as good as your new car but t not bad for me

  • Rexymorgano Rexy (@Rexymorgano) reported

    @jimwaterson Dont forget shutting down. Their sky and freeview slots are worth money. I give it until end of August.

  • Gooner725 Deep (@Gooner725) reported

    @BBCiPlayer Hi - can one of your technical staff explain why iPlayer is unable to pass a basic 5.1 soundtrack after all this time? Almost every other streaming service can handle it. Why do I have to choose between UHD + 2.0 or HD (Freeview/Sky) + 5.1. Thanks!

  • benjcsutton ʙᴇɴᴊᴀᴍɪɴ ꜱᴜᴛᴛᴏɴ (@benjcsutton) reported

    I don't want to pile on, but I think that anyone setting up an independent freeview channel about anything in an age where linear TV is on the decline is pretty ******* stupid tbh.
