  • Crewedaddy Richard Seamon (@Crewedaddy) reported from Crewe, England

    @james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

    @FreeviewAdvice is Freeview down in Halton ?

  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

    @FreeviewTV Thanks to Dan at Freeview, the aerial-out retune x2 seems to have cured the problem. 👍

    @virginmedia I have a lot more channels back but it's like watching Freeview with rubbish signal still working on it I guess?

  • hurricanehorton Michael Horton (@hurricanehorton) reported

    Wel, @virginmedia, which I pay a fortune for, are down on a day on a day that I want to watch snooker. They're damn lucky I can watch on Freeview. They better be back by 7pm. #snooker #crapcompany

  • annewitha_e Anne (@annewitha_e) reported

    @AlexMacLeod9 the tv was off, the website was down, the phone was probably being inundated with calls as it was a recorded message then it cut me off! I guess all customers were doing the same. On freeview for now, I'll check later if they're back onstream.

  • BoyCharioteer Stephen Miller (@BoyCharioteer) reported

    @DjDirtyDan87 @BenShoveller We simply switched to the old TV aerial on the freeview TV set. The premium TV is off for a few hours. If that is the worst that people are suffering then they are very lucky people. I always found Virgin Media service excellent.

  • ChrisGrant1875 Chris (@ChrisGrant1875) reported

    @virginmedia @ailesabel Freeview channels back but sports and movies still not working

  • endeavour1968 Endeavour1968 (@endeavour1968) reported

    @virginmedia When you pay for a premium TV service and get Freeview.

  • DarrenHindle1 Darren Hindle (@DarrenHindle1) reported

    @Seons_Le @virginmedia Well we live in the first world bit hard to have 3rd world problems isn't it you clown we pay a fee we expect it to work if we don't pay a fee we get less than Freeview with a message telling us to pay on screen so why shouldn't we complain

  • lee_eyres Lee Eyres ❤️ 💙 (@lee_eyres) reported

    @Anne_Coates1 @Geoff_McGivern @VirginMedia_TV I’ve currently got more on freeview than Virgin, but I’m surprised the web site is down, I’ve used that a lot, and it is working for me, although I guess I’m in a different area.

  • michaelfromuk Mike Flint from the UK, sparkling. (@michaelfromuk) reported

    VM TV is down, but internet still seems to work. So that's all the 'normal' channels even if you've got no TV aerial for FreeView. Relax people.

  • chocs_me Robert Brown (@chocs_me) reported

    @virginmedia Pretty scant in the way of updates given how long it’s been since the outage began. Telling us that a handful of TV channels are available now is all well & good, but I can turn my V6 box off completely & get those for nothing via Freeview.
