    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

  • richard__webb Richard Webb (@richard__webb) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @GBNEWS i was so looking forward to it. But… on freeview the picture quality is really poor, sound is out of sync, and just feels like the sets are dark and badly lit. Took my focus away from listening to whats being projected. #GBNews

    @Stephen47763256 @bachelorettem There is a Freeview helpline if problems persist Stephen. 03456 505050

    @jodimullen I suppose it would be a frankly huge pain in the *** to replace all those ordinary Freeview boxes/in-builds to re-standardise new codecs and data delivery to increase resolution/quality. MPEG-2 really is showing its age on some of these data-starved channels.

    @Stephen47763256 @TalkingPicsTV Great Movies went off this afternoon. Ok with my TV that has a freeview box so don't know what's going on. Do you have problems with the sound dipping too?

  • JacquieSamateh KS (@JacquieSamateh) reported from Coventry, England

    @FreeviewAdvice My Freeview channels were broken up so I tried to retune, and only South TV channels came up & only BBC1, BBC2, BBC4 and the children's BBC channels. So I tried retuning again and I can find not ONE single channel. Please help me. Thanks

    @FreeviewTV Are you seriously going to ignore that Freeview is down across the entire UK and has been for hours? All channels are gone.

  • Juju72028287 Juju (@Juju72028287) reported

    @FreeviewTV Would love to watch, but Freeview seems to be down - surely you're not ignoring the fact that the service has been bad all week and has completely given up today. Or am I just imagining a no signal message on every channel?

  • norfolkmummy3 norfolk mummy (@norfolkmummy3) reported

    @GrainPirateDan Freeview is having an outage - don’t know if that’s any help. We’ve got no tv at all!
