Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Bridgend 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

  • 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

    TV win in UK. Kill Bill and The Good, the bad and the ugly currently both on Freeview

  • warrenb1173 warren (@warrenb1173) reported

    @SkyUK Relying on streaming for all your tv content is a terrible idea. Having freeview as back up means you need an aerial on your roof, which negates the main benefit if sky glass!

  • SatwantBee Satwant Bee (@SatwantBee) reported

    @rlrossi64 Good question. I'm guessing: network television; broadcast TV; digital TV channels; Freeview. Creates a distinction between those and streaming services, I guess.

    @dramachannel The Freeview guide listings issue only affects Drama +1 displaying Dave listings.

  • Louise243 LS (@Louise243) reported

    @commaficionado I think I preferred analogue TV static to when the Freeview boxes first came out, because you could still watch through a bit of static, but with digital it would go all pixelated and then lose the signal when there was a bad storm, which happened quite often in rainy Manchester.

    Is the freeview website down want to check something out.

  • Mr___Boy John (@Mr___Boy) reported

    @4Viewers Probably both but I was specifically talking about 4HD on terrestrial freeview (ch104). I didn't try the SD channel to compare but it's the same on multiple TVs from different brands. I have a feeling it's a Dolby issue, on my old TV it was better using built in TV speakers

  • PeterNimmo1 Peter Nimmo (@PeterNimmo1) reported

    @StewartMcDonald @Ofcom I had assumed that RT’s disappearance from Freeview was down to UK actions (Ofcom). Turns out it was the EU!

  • JusLord JK (@JusLord) reported

    @Stillnocomment @chrisnagle Where I am, the Freeview is utter ****! I get about 15 TV channels. 1/2 mile up the road, they switch to a different transmitter & have the lot. I watch too much TV as is so is possibly a blessing but obv. I don't get as much value for £ from the bastarding TV licence as some.

    It only seems like Yesterday that UK History began on the Freeview platform, with UK Bright Ideas running from 6am - 6pm showing content from UK Style, UK Food and UK Gardens. Then, lots of changes to the @UKTV network of channels.
