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)

    @PetroPablo3 @DitsyRedOne @beffybadbelly So circumstances can't change? They may have been able to afford the TV and simply use freeview rather than paying for a service...

  • RainbowChazer Music is my first love. And it will be my last. (@RainbowChazer) reported

    @stuffierescue Disconnect on Thursday, reconnect on Friday? We were without internet for weeks here, and Freeview too as the TV aerial was broken. Have I told human about the 6 month hassle to get £25 out of British Telecom because I was moving out of area although staying with them?

  • Oliver___Brett Oliver Brett (@Oliver___Brett) reported

    Any help available for the senile? Eg is BT Sport on freeview and if so where? TIA

  • Nigelh7n Nigel Hurneyman (@Nigelh7n) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I've retuned my freeview decoder and got the 41/69 Horror/CBS justice swap. But I've also lost 64 Freesports and 77 Now 80s. I can't see that on your site anywhere. My postcode is HP13 and I'm on the Greater London signal.

  • CDProd95 Connor Dale (@CDProd95) reported

    @tjtex26 BBC1 was a bad example but Sky 1 isn't part of Freeview is it, as far as I can see if you want Sky Sports through sky and not now TV you need to have sky's contract for Sky 1 etc

  • What_JT_Thinks JT (@What_JT_Thinks) reported

    Come on @bt_uk when are you going to offer an internet only TV service including Freeview. It was there for a bit then taken away citing “software problems”. When is the release date? Then I can sign up.

  • eloiseaa728 eloise angharad (@eloiseaa728) reported

    @kennysmith21 @beffybadbelly No, on widely available freeview (i.e not on the local mux where tinypop lives) there are two: Pop (Arq A) and CITV (SDN), under the impression only CITV is in a similar market (age group) and is not a particularly good service… There is a reason CBBC dominates.

  • Notts_TV Notts TV (@Notts_TV) reported

    @Ayrton12Senna @NottsTV Sorry for the earlier issues - you should find this is resolved now on Freeview

  • ron__west Ron West (@ron__west) reported

    @A_Liberty_Rebel @MargotLJParker @CatharineHoey Why not have low resolution & mono sound (with expensive sports/etc events replaced by old films) on the Freeview service, and HD & stereo of full repertoire on paid services?

  • 1066shrimprail SHRIMP - Hastings (@1066shrimprail) reported

    Anyone else finding that DAVE and W channels on freeview are suffering from really annoying blackout screens? (Have retuned x2 so not the set).
