Yeah everyone has NGTV now. If you aren't receiving the channels, it could be a signal level issue, give faults a ring on 151 from a Virgin Media landline or 08454541111 from any other phone

I just checked the service status page, and says broadband and TV faults for my area, according to phone number, and it looks like a signal level fault, as all channels unwatchable, like a bad positioned sat dish, says hopefully sorted by tomorrow morning, will give it a bit and if still like that call then, though has been getting very very slowly better over last few moments

We've had a few problems in N.I. today. If your 'phone number is showing a fault on the status page, then the outage is still open.

Hopefully fixed soon

Thanks for the replies, getting slowly better, been 4 minutes since a freeze up,
grrr i typed too soon lol, as long as I can moan at Eurovision tomorrow :-)
and wish for Sir Terry of Wogan to come back.

Now all I need are the new cards for the boxes and be all set,

as another point if anyone knows, (and off topic sorry) how long can I switch off at the plug my other old NTL pace box off before I have to phone up and get the channels added again? as I seem to be calling a lot lol, just to save having to call can switch it on a bit.

Agreed but the Beeb should be leading, not following. They always poo-poo'd the simulcast idea and only since they were allocated the other DTT slot that Five missed are they deciding that, actually, it makes sense to simulcast.

After 4 years, their beloved BBCHD is still a limited hours service with substandard audio most of the time (Latest series of Doctor Who excepted) and endless repeats.

Don't get me wrong, BBC1HD and a BBCHD channel that covers BBC2,3&4 content is great news for us viewers but it does smack of hypocrisy to me.
