Freeview Issues Reports Near Aberdare, Wales

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

  • 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)

    @a516digital The same with freeview, dispite the fact i cant get this service even after my best efforts, those that can should have all the hd at the start, i know theres less coming up when mux 7 closes, but its the way forward.

    Wee #Sushi 🍣 is listening intently @simonmayo ! Struggling to get @greatesthitsuk here in Glasgow, other than on app. 2 TV's, both with Freeview, 1 has major sound issues trying to play it.

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @Oldgitsville The disabled as nobody else makes programmes for them. Same goes for Welsh and Gaelic speakers. Also school kids who access BBC Educational resources for free at school/college & the poor/elderly who use Freeview would be screwed as the licence fee pays to maintain transmitters.

  • ManfacilityW Manfacility Metal Works (@ManfacilityW) reported

    Smokey and the bandit 3 just started on paramount network on freeview. Only ever seen it once..

  • tonytiger67 Tony Turner (@tonytiger67) reported

    You’re never more than six feet away from an episode of The Inbetweeners on one of the Freeview channels

  • martincasson Martin Casson (@martincasson) reported

    @OldRoberts953 We very rarely watch BBC programmes- not much to interest us. It’s normally other freeview channels or at a stretch a subscription service.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Oh yes, forgot about this, thats rearing its ugly head, more problems for freeview, com 7 springs to mind here,

  • NoSheds No Sheds 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@NoSheds) reported

    @LynseyAnneWhite @eamonngriffin An analogue TV can still show analogue pictures sent down the aerial cable by a video (vcr), satellite (sky,freesat,eutelsat), cable, or freeview box

  • rhydsnewi Rhydian Edwards (@rhydsnewi) reported

    @LankyCarGuy Because Freeview transmitters have only a fixed number of frequencies they can broadcast a signal on. Each frequency can carry a number of separate channels, but that number depends on the quality. Reduce the quality and you can fit more channels (and more revenue) in.

  • IsobelMKeane Isobel Ní Chatháin 🇮🇪 (@IsobelMKeane) reported

    @utdfox We didn't have Sky and it was never shown on the Freeview channels. I did watch the Pokemon DPPT animes, Bakugan, Beyblade, Tokyo Mew Mew and Digimon Data Squad though.
