Freeview Issues Reports Near Aberdare, Wales

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

  • 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)

    @GBNEWS , Can someone please tell me why , when I'm watching on Freeview , does my GBNews signal keep breaking up when there's bad weather coming from the west . It doesn't happen on other channels .

  • YNWA_4Life ..... Loading (@YNWA_4Life) reported

    My god the picture quality on @ITV4 on Freeview is appalling.... How is quality this appalling even allowed? (ITV Hub is as bad as this) #Lionesses #EngBel

  • CatONineTalez Cat O’ Nine Tales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@CatONineTalez) reported

    @CatwomanNation I’ll give it a whirl but I’ve never done one of these tier things before so I’ve a feeling it will be like watching your granny trying to work the Freeview box…

  • FWestfield Francis Westfield (@FWestfield) reported

    Freeview, on their webpage, state they were having issues since 6am today. No , it started at 4.20pm GMT yesterday. My watching of tennis at Queens had just started. Ryan had just started playing. Had to catch up with data only on my phone.

  • ELLTRON3000 ell (@ELLTRON3000) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hey! i haven't been able to get freeview channels through my bt youview box for c. 3 months. i've followed all the steps on your website including all the tuning steps. please help! i'm E14 7DJ.

  • rsmck Ross McKillop  (@rsmck) reported

    Big mistake to remove @BBCNews HD from Freeview. Hotels, airline lounges, foyers etc where BBC has prevailed for years will switch to another news service rather than retrofit freesat or IP based solutions just to keep the same channel :(

  • AndrewBowden Andrew Bowden (@AndrewBowden) reported

    @LornaGoodyear Paramount+ is a new streaming service so it's built into many TVs. But actually there are Freeview channels that need an internet connection so yes there are channels thatb can't be watched on normal TVs

  • dzonershow Association of Cartoon Talent & Services by Darren (@dzonershow) reported

    @RegularTweetsUK Also the HD versions of BBC News and Discovery Quest airing on freeview are shutting down next week due com7 band phasing out for 5g spectrum

  • FWestfield Francis Westfield (@FWestfield) reported

    More problems with freeview, reported today. Phew, not just my reception then.

  • Jayfuz Jayfuz (🗣️Rufus, but Jay) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Jayfuz) reported

    @oliwrath we only have BBC Wales and BBC Cymru I think Is this why I could never find a radio station on FM to listen to united commentary on the train home from Manchester? 😭 I was scrapping with Freeview last week because for some reason they send me Liverpool TV & Grenada reports
