  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @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.

  • Crewedaddy Richard Seamon (@Crewedaddy) reported from Crewe, England

    @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.

  • DavidSwindells1 David Swindells (@DavidSwindells1) reported from Macclesfield, England

    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

  • kirstxxiv kirstylouise (@kirstxxiv) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    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.

    @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.

  • RobertoFerdenzi Roberto Ferdenzi Ⓜ️ 🇮🇹 🏆 (@RobertoFerdenzi) reported

    @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!

  • 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.

  • WenMoonFETWOO FplCOTIWOOFET (@WenMoonFETWOO) reported

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

  • ChrisGrant1875 Chris (@ChrisGrant1875) reported

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

  • BoyCharioteer Stephen Miller (@BoyCharioteer) reported

    @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.

  • IanDarlow33 Ian (@IanDarlow33) reported

    @peltonboy @virginmedia Virtually whole of England. Think freeview stations are back on but it is a massive outage. Think they need to throw 10bob in the meter

  • 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.

  • 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.)

  • andersmac1 andersmac (@andersmac1) reported
