    @FreeviewAdvice I live in Hawkshead, near Ambleside in Cumbria. We have no Freeview reception at all, and haven't had for a couple of days. Can you help? Can't find any info as to whether there are some works going on. There is apparently a Hawkshead transmitter. Thanks.

    @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.

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

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

    @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

  • 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.

    @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.

    @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!
