  • RoboJ1M RoboJ1M (@RoboJ1M) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @Sonic_Sinclair @bbcmicrobot Technically it is, there's support for it in DVB. There's several channels on DVB satellite that uses it, not sure there's any on freeview. Certainly all the original services shutdown or moved to MHEG. The BBC mheg service was incredible but that's shutdown now too 🙁

    @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.

  • _kanundrum Christopher with a C (@_kanundrum) reported

    @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

  • 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

  • nma50n Nick Mason (@nma50n) reported

    @virginmedia Got to say, first problem I’ve had with the service and been with them since the Cable and Wireless days! Compensation? For what? Because you’ve missed a ten times repeated Homes Under the Hammer? There is a thing called Freeview? Plus numerous other pay to view services #ManUp

  • Phil39023953 Floppy Phil- Collared slave of Lady Rochester (@Phil39023953) reported

    @CagedSlaveP I'm watching freeview at the moment, but really annoyed about paying a fair bit of money for a service I'm not getting

  • 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 ?

  • SimpkinsRachael rachael simpkins (@SimpkinsRachael) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I'm in Sheffield and having the same problem with no signal quality and no freeview channels since Tuesday

  • BoyCharioteer Stephen Miller (@BoyCharioteer) reported

    @petertsykes My Virgin bill this month is £92.57. I accept that occasionally there can be technological problems and that they need fixing. I can survive the trauma of having to use Freeview briefly today without whingeing about it on social media.

  • 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

  • RobertoFerdenzi Roberto Ferdenzi Ⓜ️ 🇮🇹 🏆 (@RobertoFerdenzi) reported

    @cassyofLondon @njamurphy It's been happening most of this morning, losing certain freeview channels. Checked with neighbour, same issue. They must be working on the London transmitter. Would be nice if they could pre-warn us it is going to happen, rather than thinking there is something wrong at our end!
