    @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.

  • johngunn2 johngunn (@johngunn2) reported

    @CStewart_CS May have had more to do with the National outage that Virgin suffered yesterday rather than just the train WiFi. A number of folk lost all broadband, tv and phone. We were lucky as it was just tv and could revert to freeview if needed. Back last night but not full service.

    @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.)

  • 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.

  • GeraldineRyan Geraldine Ryan (@GeraldineRyan) reported

    When am I going to get my Freeview back @virginmedia? Been down since 5 p.m. yesterday. CB4.

  • 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!!

  • fuzzyfelts2 Viv Phelps 💙 (@fuzzyfelts2) reported

    Oh dear, what has @BBCiPlayer done to itself on the Freeview update? It was bad enough before but now, it’s terrible…….

  • localnotail 💙 Jane 🌱 (@localnotail) reported

    @PeterMannionMP He's already at the World Service, being honest on BBC News Outside Source for years, but fortunately Nadine Dorries doesn't know how to find 107 on her Freeview.
