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)

    @je_au @MichaelWestBiz I agree on the conditional DRM thing, though not 'trivial'. Also a confusing user experience. Example (real world, lived, me) - FreeView TV app no login - many TVs have Freeview AND native apps. Freeview has "missing content" for that reason - customer complaints result !

    @JohnSimpsonNews I think there's a difference between it being available on the Internet and on Freeview. German radio broadcasts could presumably be heard on a crackling signal in WWII. Not on HD on a 50 inch screen in my living room. Or do you see them as essentially the same?

  • BegbieCat3 McCoubrey Cat (@BegbieCat3) reported

    @EilisOHanIon I record all episodes of every series that I want to watch on my old Freeview+ box and never start watching until the whole series is recorded. It's the only bit of self-control I can exercise these days. It also means I can >>Fast Forward>> the adverts in 30 second jumps.

  • LMilk007 LennyMilk007 (@LMilk007) reported

    Oh sweet jesus @StuartYoung001 im watching a 1976 film #squirm on one of your channels @TalkingPicsTV on freeview 82 . So an electrical storm is going to hit and earth worms are going to attack a town ..... apparently. All a bit weird but i watch it with wine help

  • Mr___Boy John (@Mr___Boy) reported

    @Channel4 6 months after your major outage, I'm still seeing really bad audio sync on freeview... The internet is full of others saying the same thing. No other live TV has this issue. @WeAreWhisperTV is it just your F1 shows, that's all I watch on the channel?

  • SnapeHugh hugbilly (@SnapeHugh) reported

    @RadioTimes Thanks for the reply and I understand the intention. What is slightly more annoying is that the site no longer allows one to set a default service provider (i.e. Sky or Freesat.) I use Freeview and it used to be that once I'd selected that service as the provider the page would

  • DaveyBoi73 Dave ♿️ Esq (@DaveyBoi73) reported

    @Fibutton Which TV service do you use? Really is available on Freeview 17, Freesat 160, Sky 142, Virgin 129 and discovery+ UK.

  • misscepayne Carolyn Payne (@misscepayne) reported

    @CarrieHFletcher Literally dreading the day I have to upgrade the telly! I don’t know how any of it works! And I haven’t even entered the realm of the smart tv yet! We just have freeview! That’s it! Good luck! And sorry for the lack of help x

  • PhilJBowers Phil Bowers (@PhilJBowers) reported

    @horror_channel Hi, I've just bought a freesat box and trying to access Horror Bites, but when I go to channel 138 I only get the existing Freeview channel, how can I access the in demand service on Freesat?

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @cleanfeed_ttvr I find this practice annoying mostly because if they don't flag each episode with "New..." the series link doesn't work, at least on Freeview anyway. Plus it highlights just how many 'encore presentations' are on even the main channels now.
