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

    @S4C @virginmedia Yeah had the update but still not working, it hasn’t now for the last 3 or 4 live games, it must be a Virgin problem as I said freesat and freeview working, never mind I’ll stay with the Welsh language it’s fine

  • FalaCatsco Catherine (@FalaCatsco) reported

    @AgentP22 According to STV it's shows like Coronation Street etc, Albas figures are an impressive 530,000 adult viewers a week when it became available on Freeview and Virgin media, how odd. Their average viewing time is an hour and 40 mins? Never watched Alba, lot of Sports apparently.

    @Ste15375723Mark @MartinSLewis @GMB FWIW I think most likely outcome is the licence fee will be kept as the least worst option. Advertising is non-starter as it would destroy ITV/C4/C5's revenue. Subscription isn't possible for Freeview/radio. Bundling in with tax would be spun badly for the gov.

  • Welshlass1962 Maggie Ikin (@Welshlass1962) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam That was when Sky tv was value for money! I left Sky last year because you could only offer a measly £2 per month discount for a customer who had been with you for over 20yrs! And I don’t miss Sky at all…..on FREEview now!

  • HelenParkins Helen Parkins (@HelenParkins) reported

    @sallythomsett Hahaha ! Cutting it a bit fine- typical ! Hope he has resolved the problem. There's a brill new drama about the Mitford sisters on right now, on freeview 20- it's called "Outrageous." xxx

    @BagladyM Hi, Maureen. Sorry to hear that you're having problems receiving Freeview. Can you DM us your postcode along with the house number or name so we can check coverage in your area and advise from there?

  • Popeye87009747 Popeye (@Popeye87009747) reported

    @TLWUK1Official @MediaBoyUK SKY never had ITVBe+1. ITV Quiz+1 will launch on Freeview more likely in August 2025

  • millar00 perseverance (@millar00) reported

    .@AJEnglish is the only channel on my sky box that says No Satellite Signal is being received consistently. Al Jazeera has also been removed from FreeView. It’s like someone doesn’t want you getting any news except from those that have supported Israel during its genocide.
