Re: Various channels went off air tonight on multiple platforms
Repairs following on from the storm perhaps?

Same here in Northampton. Happened at 11am.
Initially thought it might've been the CityFibre cable installation that going on in my road at the moment.
VM website unavailable and Virgin TV Go not working as an alternative.

It seems to be a national failure, so who knows where the actual location of the fault lies. It was just a guess.
However, it does seem unlikely to be related to the Red Bee Media incident responsible for the original, multi-platform failure.

Re: Various channels went off air tonight on multiple platforms
Seeing as it's not possible to get info from VM via phone or their website, it would be useful for info to be posted outside of VM systems, eg here.

Re: Various channels went off air tonight on multiple platforms
A fire suppressant issue at Langley perhaps? The issue probably needs a new thread but the TV Outage thread has been closed for some reason.

Also cannot log into their website so maybe some kind of authentication outage? Or maybe just too many people going to their website to see the service status
|
The same here.

The Virgin Media forum is unaffected. The Mod Team have posted the following.....

Re: Various channels went off air tonight on multiple platforms
Our TV is down in Lincoln, just like the rest.
So do I presume that VM only got 1 major distribution center, where all the signals come in? as VM are classing it as National outage.

Re: Various channels went off air tonight on multiple platforms
My TV service is up and running again. Guess someone switched it off and waited 20 seconds before switching it on again. Always works a treat.

Re: Various channels went off air tonight on multiple platforms
No channels at all in London. The apps appear to be working.
