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)

    @staffordgary @TheVanaramaNL Doubt much will change. Hull predominately on FM since commentary back (and rightly given status and support base) and DAB and freeview for us two. And online for backup.

    @skytv @TalkTV Why is the picture and sound glitchy on TalkTv. The picture quality is great but it's just not playing correctly. Note... Rest of my channels are fine even CNN which in bad weather disappears 1st. Also freeview is working fine... Thank you.

    @flossybball @murrayhead84 do you have anything else attached to the tv? i.e. freeview box etc? as the sound on that would need knocking down so you don't get fecked on the actual tv

    @badmissk @366DaiChallenge I bought a telly for my pensioner sister. I went into Currys and said "doesn't have broadband, not interested in streaming or 'smart', just wants the Freeview channels". You literally can't buy such a thing. I walked out with a JVC with 90% of its functionality she'd never use.

    @Richardt1850 @VodkaSrups We realised we watched one channel that wasn’t on freeview…we now pay for every streaming service there is and don’t even get close to the same price.

    @AnnMSinnott @Virgin We have sky phone and broadband. Freeview TV, never bothered paying for extra.

  • EricBear18 Eric Bear (@EricBear18) reported

    @chomper_TC @CodsyBear We do struggle to find stuff on Netflix these days - even alot of their « new » shows have already been on Freeview. Trouble with Amazon is there is alot of stuff without subtitles and we need those much of the time 🙄
