    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

    Hope we don't get this warm weather very often.#freeview doesn't work because of the high atmospheric pressure apparently. How am I going to watch #loveisland

    @duckbunnyben I don't have cable or Freeview or Sky, or any TV coming in at all. So if I cancel my iPlayer account, I should be able to not pay?

  • stevend43829773 Stevend43829773 (@stevend43829773) reported

    Hi everyone, studio 66 TV is not on Freeview anymore, it's closed down for some reason, I can't watch Georgie Darby on screen anymore, I feel upset

  • AkShane47 shane Jones (@AkShane47) reported

    @virginmedia I have a lot more channels back but it's like watching Freeview with rubbish signal still working on it I guess?

  • GeraldineRyan Geraldine Ryan (@GeraldineRyan) reported

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

  • 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

  • annlyon55 Ann (@annlyon55) reported

    @virginmedia We just put freeview on tv...Wasn't a big issue.

  • AkShane47 shane Jones (@AkShane47) reported

    @virginmedia So even though services are restored I still have the issue like bad signal on freeview with an indoor aerial,I have reset the box multiple times with no improvement. Is this an issue for anyone else ?
