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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • AdamBede3 Adam Bede (@AdamBede3) reported

    @dawneva3 @TalkingPicsTV I looked it up it is channel 81 on Freeview and I scan the the channels and it wasn't there, I wonder if anyone elsse has had trouble? There was a 60's film on the other day I wanted to see.

  • niksibley Nik Sibley (@niksibley) reported from Coventry, England

    Any ideas why MiL’s @HisenseUK @Roku TV sometimes puts itself onto the Freeview Play page whilst watching her Sky Q box? Even did it to me as I was navigation TV settings. Maybe TV or remote control issues? Hopefully unplugging/replugging will simply be enough to fix it…

  • rozlaws Roz Laws (@rozlaws) reported

    @jonnylaws1 No. Socket in wall connected to dish/aerial, which is connected to my box and is allowing me to watch tv that way. But I liked the option to also watch Freeview, handy if lots of progs on at same time. The ‘source’ on tv screen now says there’s no tv signal that way, not sure why

  • ChrissiBranson1 Chrissi Branson (@ChrissiBranson1) reported

    @AndyWilsonFS @MoneySavingExp Not all of them are essentials and what the OP might pay out for the flat. TV package is not essential that is what freeview is for. Service charges are not always paid for on flats as that normally covers areas of shared ownership eg hallways grass etc.

  • B_Neash Becca Neash (@B_Neash) reported

    Freeview tv is ****, no wonder no body pays for a TV licence

  • casslovedheino Ronan (@casslovedheino) reported

    @bririley_70 Man you gotta love the account name. No false advertising there. Also, pretty sure this concept was done before on one of the late night freeview channels years ago. Think the bastard McKenzie was involved in the channel though so have never gone back there.

  • KeithCP2 Keith Pates (@KeithCP2) reported

    @FreeviewTV why is there no service at all now? 2 tv's no warning and neither working on freeview 1 tv was working fine earlier this morning, got woke up with doorbell, and no one there now no tv again sort it and let people know letter to trading standards going today

  • DougGore Douglas Gore (@DougGore) reported

    It's 2021 and there is still no sane way to have a streaming equivalent of Freeview or Freesat that can be accessed from a single UI. This is why public service broadcasting is dying.

  • Oxfordite Rupert wilson (@Oxfordite) reported

    @geofflath @alexbloor UK: freeview via Satellite.. same as freeview via aerial, sometimes more reliable signal.

  • franb66 (((Lady B))) (@franb66) reported

    @virginmedia Tivo box keeps turning itself off, remote doesn't work. Only started when work in area started. Have taken to watching on Freeview. Can't see point in using your service
