Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • 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.

  • ChrisGrant1875 Chris (@ChrisGrant1875) reported

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

  • 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…….

  • itsjusnat NAT’ (@itsjusnat) reported

    Anyone else’s tv services down ..? I can’t access virgin or freeview..?

  • AnnieGE2 AnnieGE2 (@AnnieGE2) reported

    @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.)

    @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.

    @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.

    @RobertMHolt @virginmedia @AkShane47 Still no channels at 8pm. Using freeview what a complete fail. Sky broadband package here I come after huge mistakes on my bills since August

  • annewitha_e Anne (@annewitha_e) reported

    @AlexMacLeod9 the tv was off, the website was down, the phone was probably being inundated with calls as it was a recorded message then it cut me off! I guess all customers were doing the same. On freeview for now, I'll check later if they're back onstream.

  • 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.
