Freeview Issues Reports Near Cardiff, Wales

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Cardiff 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.

  • 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.)

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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.

    @BillyBurkeFansU Sorry still never heard of it but I only have Freeview TV. It may have been on our Sky channel which you pay extra for and I don't have home broadband. Will look out for dvds of these shows though. Thanks.

  • JackieTravelPA Jackie - Travel PA (@JackieTravelPA) reported

    My dad has alzheimers had to buy him a Freeview TV so he only has 1 remote control. Went to @virginmedia to cancel the TV off his package and they want to charge £80 and increase his monthly fee to £59! Yet new customers can get phone and broadband for £28 a month for 18 months!

  • HolaDera Taking The Future From The Now (@HolaDera) reported

    RANDOM Q: POP is the kids channel available on Freeview. When I was young POP had absolute trash kids shows. All the a-list shows were on Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Fox Kids & Disney. I decided to have a look this evening. They have Dragonball Pokémon & Power Rangers 😮

    @jlf0404 👋I'm not around #CourtTV's tweets anymore, Jan. I'm not on the channel. Period. Not after their owners' awful treatment of British viewers. From 1st June they took themselves off #Freeview. It put me off them, and off the whole US court thing. It just wasn't the same for me😕

  • WILLIAM97652031 WILLIAM SMITH (@WILLIAM97652031) reported

    @russty_russ Hugely disappointing as they on concentrated on Teletext Holidays, a digital service on Freeview at the time.

  • CarlosHMiranda Carlos Miranda (@CarlosHMiranda) reported

    @HitachiEurope 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!

  • Rexymorgano Rexy (@Rexymorgano) reported

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

  • SexodusUK Scott Exodus (@SexodusUK) reported

    @sophielouisecc HD on freeview, the current SD quality is crap.
