Also fixed is the My Freeview predict system. It no longer calls the webserver as an API, which was causing the server to lock up!
As far as I can tell you can see all the technical information for a location, view the history, view the terrain plots, the map is interactive and the radio option works too.
I've also cached the images in CloudFront in the "Read this section" so they work with all browsers.
