Freeview Issues Reports Near Gelligaer, Wales

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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)

  • lauren_miles L a u r e n (@lauren_miles) reported

    Anyone having issues with the Voice-over on #bakeoff watch it via freeview rather than Sky and its much better #GBBO ☺

  • PhlipGodfrey Philip Godfrey (@PhlipGodfrey) reported

    @johnzharper00 @E4Tweets I would have thought that as well but it's something to do with the way Freeview is routed around the Freeview network, we don't have E4 where I live so losing E4+1 is really disappointing.

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    @JoshxReid @PATVOne1 @4Music They did move out of the music section on Sky a few years back to allow them to do this. Not an issue on Freeview with everything thrown in together. It is poor branding though - same with CBS Drama showing hours of Judge Judy.

  • mal1eto Stuart Ross (@mal1eto) reported

    @TelegraphRugby @GavinMairs Wtf. No Freeview coverage. Channel 5, channel 4, l ITV, it's all going ppv wrong wrong wrong!

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @brinsmith1957 @FreeviewTV Hi Bryan, Apologies for the delay in response. Sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. Please DM Freeview Advice with your postcode, house name/number and we will look into this further for you. Melissa

  • dancardwell Dan Cardwell (@dancardwell) reported

    @virginmedia @annmarienoble23 @annmarie Virgin Media, the problem is that subtitles work on adverts but not on the programmes. Been like this all week. Problem is at channel 5's end as it occurs on Freeview too!

  • willmgreenhalgh William Greenhalgh (@willmgreenhalgh) reported

    @CassLennox Funny thing is only channel 4 works on all 4 right now the other live channels are dead also ita due to complicated reasons woth how thr signal is transmitted to freeview cable and satellite its all messed up still

  • differ_dare Dare Differ (@differ_dare) reported

    @Limping_Chicken Too many Freeview channels without any or nominal amount of subtitles after all these years. Horror does none, yet most horror is dark for scare effect, folk whisper... Worse kind of set up to try and make out what happening. Access to service - subtitles should be mandatory now.

  • Shelle02 Michelle Hedley 💙 (@Shelle02) reported

    @LeeYates82 @virginmedia It is the same issue on the sky and freeview /freesat platforms. No subtitles on any of the 12 channel 4 channels and issues with BBC and Channel 5.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Red Bee Incident Update: ▪ E4+1 is back on Freeview channel 29 ▪ E4, More 4 and Film 4 have returned to Freeview in the East Midlands (Waltham transmitter group). Film 4 without sound (h/t @Indigo_Assoc). E4 without DOG. ▪ My5: Live streams C5, Paramount working, but...
