Freeview Issues Reports Near Caerphilly, Wales

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

  • 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.)

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Barfette Barfette (@Barfette) reported

    @helen_spirit1 Only watched couple times usually watch Sky News/ Freeview, signal been bad. BBC 1 is GHASTLY in my opinion, but I happenend upon GMB the actual day that Piers Morgan walked out. I now find it absolute garbage. Same league IMO as Schofield, Willoughby, Hammond and O'Leary.

  • dubdobdee 🐛 🔥 muad'dob dee 🔥 🐛 (@dubdobdee) reported

    @TriffidFarm a just and probing question! but while the package with the new router in was just delivered i am not going to plumb it in tonight as i am tired and it's a morning task so im watching terrestrial freeview w/the sound turned down

  • GusArthurr GUS (@GusArthurr) reported

    People should be mad that prior to the pandemic, not a single PL game was shown on freeview and that BT bought all of the CL coverage that used to be shown on ITV but ok now #superleague is a problem?

  • phoneaccount125 Jon (@phoneaccount125) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hi I have lost BBC on Freeview is there any problems?

  • Fetzie_ Tom AkA Fetzie (@Fetzie_) reported

    @stnapirrem @LukeEdwardsTele Sky is tied to a multi year deal. And if they left the market and football goes back on Freeview, is that such a bad thing?

  • mickhsmith Mick Smith (@mickhsmith) reported

    @58paulb @Bigdogdigs Always used to buy Panasonic. Then I had a hard drive fail on a freeview box. Panasonic were no help at all, because they didn’t want me to repair it myself.

  • CatAmongPages CatAmongThePages 💙 (@CatAmongPages) reported

    Apparently the BBC et al have pledged millions to Freeview to invest in the service. Sorry, pledged MILLIONS (it's a tabloid headline). That's lovely but personally I'd just like a digital signal. It's been over a year now. There will be no licence fee payment this year. Nope.

  • batrobi Goingincognito 3.5% FBPE 🖤🇪🇺🇮🇹🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈 (@batrobi) reported

    @Philips No unfortunately. Lots of going around in circles. Searched the web & it seems lots of people are having same problem with aspect ratio in smart/on demand/freeview play mode, and no solution. Settings changes don’t apply. Maybe a bug on your OS? I returned and went for Samsung 😢

  • H_MOORE4 Hugh (@H_MOORE4) reported

    @SBunching I disagree, more football is available to watch than ever but virtually none is on free to air. 1st Prem game I watched live was actually in a stadium, we didn’t have Sky in my house so I never had the opportunity. I became a fan through FA cup and champs league games on freeview

  • JAMESFR29299422 JAMES FREDERICK (@JAMESFR29299422) reported

    Apparently @JolyonMaugham was supposed to be on @SkyNews today giving opinions. It was canned at last moment. I've been a Sky customer for 20 years. Had enough of this sh*t will not be renewing next contract. Freeview and contactless satellite TV for me from now on.
