Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Rhondda and nearby locations:

• Krys Cross! Cha Cha Real Smooth (@KAK_Tweets) reported 8 minutes agofromTreorchy, 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

• Ian Cleverly (@IanCleverly06) reported 11 minutes agofromTrethomas, 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)

• Dan Tappin (@oitappin) reported 40 minutes agofromCardiff, Wales

  @DooHopper Pick will be an interesting case, no hd an awful picture on Freeview, good slot number but not much heft from Sky to push it.

• Michael Lee Lewis (@MichaelLeeLewi4) reported 45 minutes agofromAberdare, 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

• Morgan Barber-Rogers #FBPE melt and centrist dad (@MeurigRogers) reported 46 minutes agofromCardiff, 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.

• Dave Maydew MW0DCM (@dave_maydew) reported 49 minutes agofromTonyrefail, 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 56 minutes agofromCardiff, 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

• john knights (@JohnJpsk) reported 3 minutes agofromEastleigh, England

  sh*t on TV tonight.... But this Freeview 231 takes the biscuit...

• Mark Toleman (@marktoleman) reported 3 minutes agofromFremington, England

  So #freeview told me to retune my tv's which led me to lose all signal apart from one in front room as that's via freesat, so no signal upstairs. I'm now liable for the cost of an aerial engineer to fix it. Been told to complain to my local MP if I'm not happy.

• Bas (@Hillchaser) reported 6 minutes agofromBristol, England

  @DonnaB5125 @my90dayfatloss @Kkaiserrr @Mr_W_Carpenter Something to do with latest updates on Netflicks & freeview not working on some samsung tvs

• Mark Toleman (@marktoleman) reported 7 minutes agofromFremington, England

  Haven't had BBC channels since the retune, I've noticed I'm missing #BBC4 the most, damn I'm getting old. #freeview

• andy (@andy_urz) reported 10 minutes agofromNewbury, England

  studio66 on freeview is crap 1/4 screens go back to Babestation

• Bu88ble (@LILBUBBLE1) reported 10 minutes agofromWalthamstow, England

  @FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

• Sam Rickelton | North East Family Fun (@NEFamilyFun) reported 11 minutes agofromLeeds, England

  @Sharon43068108 Very annoying! They are now showing the same match on BBC 1 AND 2. We are in a hotel room son only have Freeview. Going to watch Bridget Jones Diary on itv2 - I have my fingers crossed it's not too rude for the kids 🤣 (from what I remember, I think it's ok)

• Dave M (@Putneyman) reported 13 minutes agofromLondon, England

  Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83.I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

• Shirley McGregor (@shirlmcgregor) reported 19 minutes agofromBlairgowrie, Scotland

  @NicolaSturgeon lately we sat down to watch our National Rugby and Football teams in action n the Telly. Only to find that we would need to pay extra for it. Do you agree that aabody across Oor nation should be able to see National matches on the main/freeview channels. Scunnert!

• Sheilabo (@sheilaloughlin_) reported 22 minutes agofromCarrickfergus, Northern Ireland

  @hobicherie Everyones signal down, think its freeview
