Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Aberdare 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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • SeasideDaddy1 Disabled Guy (@SeasideDaddy1) reported

    @revkatebottley My grandparents never embraced the sky experience only for getting a Freeview set top box to receive digital when the old analog tv was turned off.

  • StephenAkehurs1 Stephen Akehurst (@StephenAkehurs1) reported

    @ThatTimWalker @skytv Was thinking of cancelling Sky and going back to Freeview as never anything on worth watching. This just about confirms it!

  • dook42_domini Dook 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇳🇿 (@dook42_domini) reported

    @Trailer_Swift69 if using #freeview your lucky it's even watchable - since they removed the wavebands to 5G, it's been close to unwatchable for myself for the signal strength.. returned to the 1970's - about 3 watchable channels.

  • Sixpenc97002536 Sixpence (@Sixpenc97002536) reported

    @misteronmac @BBCNews £5.27 per month smartphone, only freeview, don’t smoke & even teetotal so maybe give up the car & walk 30+ miles to work, work my 10 hrs & then walk 30+ home again … At 68, working in the back of beyond, up hill & down dale, with no public transport … I don’t think so 🙄

  • spectral_song SpectralSong 💙🇺🇦 (@spectral_song) reported

    @deathofbuckley Echoes of Price & Andre, on your screens soon. Prob Ch5 or some Freeview repeats crap. Now let me tell the world all about my life. No takers? Phew! Couldn't be arsed anyway. Not that needy.

  • Lundavra JMB (@Lundavra) reported

    @sophielouisecc I have never seen GBNews, mainly because we have no coverage here from it on Freeview Lite. But I have never spoken to anyone who has watched it?

  • GavinDorris G M Dundee-Hausman (@GavinDorris) reported

    @RMGLUCK2017 @Legend__Channel wow, another freeview candidate... as the hollanders never tire of saying, interressant...

  • GoldnPath Goldenpath (@GoldnPath) reported

    @supertanskiii @skytv I’m already so close to cancelling Sky and going Freeview and streaming channels … can’t believe they wasted my money on this crap

  • 2_Wheeled_Wolf @2_Wheeled_Wolf 🇪🇺 (@2_Wheeled_Wolf) reported

    @commuteer_ahoy what do you expect from rehashed bigoted Wright Show from the #ScourgeOfTheTVChannels, just enforces why to never watch that **** channel or even have it on my freeview boxes.

  • themikei mikey (@themikei) reported

    @CyclingScience1 @JHesterdrums @lavuelta If you're watching on Freeview then there's nothing that can be done, the spectrum available for the service has been reduced and some channels removed, that's down to decisions made by the British government.
