    Hadn't realised rural Freeview was still so terrible compared to in metropolitan areas. I get 80 Freeview channels in Dudley nr Birmingham, Dad gets 21 in South Shropshire! And doesn't even get Sky News which I assumed was on Freeview everywhere.

    The #5g nonsense is awful. People setting fire to masts serving critical communications is madness. The frequency used in 5g has been redeployed from tv / freeview but still considerably lower power. 5g’s only side effect is faster & lower latency mobile internet #5gconspiracy

    @NicNic711 @VirginTV friends who had it & got rid of it last year. I have freeview & Amazon Prime, never had a problem.

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi most of our freeview channels suddenly totally lost their signal about 15 minutes ago, even though were fine earlier. eg itv1, itv2, ch4, suddenly gone on all TVs, though some eg bbc & 5usa still on. What's going on? Am in Bromley Kent BR1 area, near SE London.

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

  • 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.

    @virginmedia Can you now explain why even freeview is not working, itv, channel 4, I have a very distressed ill mother who is even harder work with no tv to try and explain to

  • WenMoonFETWOO FplCOTIWOOFET (@WenMoonFETWOO) reported

    @virginmedia All the more reason to bin the TV service and just stream or use Freeview. Happy to save my money.

  • 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.

  • itsjusnat NAT’ (@itsjusnat) reported

    Anyone else’s tv services down ..? I can’t access virgin or freeview..?

  • SimonTheSprout SimonTheSprout (@SimonTheSprout) reported

    I got a text to book my covid booster jab today and ignored it. But then I saw two army helicopters and now virgin media and freeview are down. Was this you @RAF_Luton ?

  • 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.
