Imagine how much of a Christmas miracle it would be if BBC3 came back to freeview number 7. I can picture it now, Gavin & Stacey returns and BBC3 makes a comeback. 25/12/19 would go down in history.

@james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

Warning, stupid question incoming, does a Freeview tele just simply plug into an old skool aerial?? My mum wants a new TV but doesn’t have cable. I’m assuming so? I’ve had cable since the early 90s so haven’t had to faff on with aerials for 30 odd years !!!

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

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 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.

@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.
