    @gsouthy @ingl Not had @SkyUK or @Virgin TV for years.. Enough crap and repeats on terrestrial TV without paying for even more from companies like these.. Freeview and @NetflixUK gives us enough entertainment, and for less..

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

  • 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.

  • P95George George Parrish (@P95George) reported

    Why ******** have i still only got bbc, itv and channel 4? We gonna be refunded this time on all our bills @virginmedia ?? Would be better off with freeview!! Only had your boxes a week!!

  • 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

    @MrsWardley @FreeviewAdvice After giving up on the freeview channels, I did check again about 90 mins later before I had to leave home and the channels had returned... Still want to know what happened to cause this big outage? (Btw our separate Virgin Media cable TV service suddenly failed today too, odd.)

    BT, Sky even freeview etc are. As such you need 100% surety of output. Clearly not the case. This should not happen EVER. You and everyone incl OFCOM know this. Terrible reputational impact.

  • 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.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    A really bad day for TV viewers - Virgin Media's TV service is still not back to normal following a nationwide outage. - On Freeview, in the London TV region, an issue affecting the D3&4 multiplex has resulted in disruption to some viewers.

  • avsybaby Avreel🧢💋 (@avsybaby) reported

    @NicNic711 @VirginTV National outage. They had a power cut. Knocked out the tv and website. We’ve just got BBC1 and channel 4 🙄. However fortunately we do have Freeview so are watching that at the mo.

  • gnkelly73 Glenn Kelly (@gnkelly73) reported

    @stephensaunt1 @PaulbernalUK @virginmedia You only get compensation for a complete outage. VM have put a couple of Freeview channels on to worm their way out of compensation. Very disingenuous company.
