    @LuckyCedarlane @BBCAMERICA @ITV @itv2 @Channel4 @channel5_tv C5 is awful. All this is freeview too!

  • StuN_UK StuN UK (@StuN_UK) reported from Sheffield, England

    @bowlestrek Get your facts straight. Johnson is not in favour of ditching the license fee, as he knows it’s a massive vote loser. Plus they’ve now realised, they can’t go to subscription fee system, as the freeview boxes that the majority of UK households use, don’t support it.

    @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.)

  • ChrisGrant1875 Chris (@ChrisGrant1875) reported

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

  • P95George George Parrish (@P95George) reported

  • 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.

    @BBCSnooker why to love of God would you change the freeview channel 601 from Gilbert game to the Hawkins game after an hour!? People,like me, who have just moved house and no WiFi yet, so can't use red button service! Seriously sick of snooker and whoever makes stupid decisions

    @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.

    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.

  • IanDarlow33 Ian (@IanDarlow33) reported

    @peltonboy @virginmedia Virtually whole of England. Think freeview stations are back on but it is a massive outage. Think they need to throw 10bob in the meter

  • mariabewick1 Ninja midget (@mariabewick1) reported

    @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

  • AkShane47 shane Jones (@AkShane47) reported

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