Freeview Issues Reports Near Rhondda, Wales
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Rhondda and nearby locations:
- Krys Cross! Cha Cha Real Smooth (@KAK_Tweets) reported fromTreorchy, 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
- Michael Lee Lewis (@MichaelLeeLewi4) reported fromAberdare, 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 MW0DCM (@dave_maydew) reported fromTonyrefail, 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
- George Baldwin (@GeorgeBaldwin14) reported fromCardiff, Wales
And has been mentioned before, I and I'm sure many others would never have followed rugby without the Six Nations being free to watch and having it on freeview year after year
- Ian Cleverly (@IanCleverly06) reported fromTrethomas, 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)
- Morgan Barber-Rogers #FBPE melt and centrist dad (@MeurigRogers) reported fromCardiff, Wales
@bethanjenkins Project Kangaroo became YouView. It wasn’t shut down because it was a ppv model - it was meant to be like an online Freeview. It was shut down because it was deemed unfair competition for private companies. Who are now all Americans.

@Raymond82310289 Time to send that **** back, people... use freeview and online streaming services that you can stomach using.
- Manpreet Singh (@manps_singh) reported
Chisora Fury robbed the public, that should have been freeview. Who would pay PPV for this terrible fight
- Tris Bayliff (@trisbayliff) reported
@Independent I swore off sky a few years ago and switched to a Freeview recording box plus the usual apps and I've never regretted it.
- 🙄 (@illuminatus) reported
@JaseHeeley It is at times like this that I am glad I only get the minimal Freeview service where I am.
- Ronnie Buchanan 🇬🇧🏴 (@RonnieB17187534) reported
@freesat_tv Maybe it next year Freesat+HD 4K when before no longer available service Freesat Humax Box anymore same Freeview Humax Box running enough?
- Womble Returns💙 (@WombleReturns) reported
@IPhillips79 Reminds me of some of the really awful Hot Gossip routines from the Kenny Everett Video Show (on repeat on Freeview #7 these days)
- Matthew Talbot-Paine (@FistingFarts) reported
@guardiannews Is the BBC not primarily for the lower socio economic viewer anyway? or rather shouldn't it be? If you are rich then you can afford sky, netflix, disney plus, hulu, hbo, prime video and so on if you are poor then all you have is the bbc and all the freeview channels.
- Damian (@taergsinaimad) reported
Itv4 is absolutely horrible in standard definition 🤮 it's 2022, why aren't you broadcasting in hd on Freeview @itv?
- 🏳️🌈 Kate A Dale Archivist🤍 (@KateADale) reported
@CLC_1000 @NOWMusic Because things are never on Freeview, my theory is they are trying to faze it out and trying to get everyone to switch to Sky and Virgin and stuff to get extra money
- Emma M Instagram marzettigodman Masterdon in bio (@EmmaM19251550) reported
@UKTVPlay we can't do series record and Idea what's happening? If you can let me know, it affects my mum more than me. But it doesn't work via my sky box, mum used freeview.
