    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

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

    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.

    @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.

    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 ?

    @DjDirtyDan87 @BenShoveller We simply switched to the old TV aerial on the freeview TV set. The premium TV is off for a few hours. If that is the worst that people are suffering then they are very lucky people. I always found Virgin Media service excellent.

    @bobp1961 @virginmedia Zen, a dedicated broadband provider, superb. For TV just gone to a smart TV (with a couple of apps for the channels I want) and Freeview. VM costs were just frankly ridiculous and service problematic.

  • 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.

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

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

    @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.
