  • GerryCarpenter3 Gerry Carpenter (@GerryCarpenter3) reported from Sunderland, England

    @Claire_Pickard @sueashton3000 Many residents in Sunderland & along the Durham Coast also receive Freeview Channels from the Bilsdale transmitter. The fire is also likely to have knocked out about 30 relay stations, which "feed" on signals from Bilsdale. I wouldn't like to climb up the transmitter to fix it!

    If we're in lock down for another 3 weeks, I really feel the #sonyChristmasChannel should be put back on #freeview...Will keep people in the house ( okay, it'll easily keep me in the house🎅🤶🌲

  • AddingRandomWit Adam Widdrington (@AddingRandomWit) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

  • Christi34653250 Christine Scott (@Christi34653250) reported from Longbenton, England

    @ITVX I wish I could or that Freeview took on this network a lot of us on pensions can't afford satalite or cable

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    Watching #GBNews on FreeView 236 yesterday there was a slight delay between the sound and the picture. Hope they can fix that. Otherwise... Excellent.

  • mpl1spalding 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Mark Loosemore Esq. 🇬🇧 (@mpl1spalding) reported

    @Adamadamant1111 @GBNEWS Watching @gbnews and so far the only problem is thelypsync which is out and very distracting... Same problem on Freeview and Sky

  • timrollpickerin Tim Roll-Pickering (@timrollpickerin) reported

    @benarchibald @GBNEWS The sync seems fine on Freeview. It's the poor microphones that are the biggest problem.

  • AbsenceMalice Cheap Jibes (@AbsenceMalice) reported

    @GBNEWS Transmission signal on Freeview 236 still very poor, other channels ok. Defo something wrong with the sound signal - and you need to urgently add subtitles for the hard of hearing, please try a ‘ticker tape’ across the top of the screen.

  • Gordon92176321 Gordon (@Gordon92176321) reported

    @GBNEWS I live on the island of Islay off the west coast of Scotland. I wish to view GB news on my TV. My freeview signal is poor so channel 236 is not available. I do not have Sky as I generally stream my TV viewing via broadband. How can I get GB news on my TV?

  • Mickste92347993 Mickster 🇮🇹🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🍷🎶 (@Mickste92347993) reported

    @Ashleyrose66 @EamonnHolmes @GBNEWS Watching in FHD on IPTV provider Top quality picture. Sound issues at their end Standard definition on Freeview is pants

  • galeb80 barbara gale (@galeb80) reported

    @SusanHarris80 @toshtheblues I get it on freeview 236.....but had to quickly returne my TV first. However will give it a few days before I watch again while they sort the too many tech problems out. All very well investing in presenters and reporters only for the technical side to be a bit of a disaster.

  • RScandle Angelica Blastoff! (@RScandle) reported

    @danwootton So where is it mate?Buried down there on Freeview between some bloke demonstrating dodgy paintbrushes and the earrings channel?

  • magj2187 BigTasty🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏉🐑 Aka Matt Jeffery. (@magj2187) reported from Shotton, Wales

    @NickPye10 @GBNEWS Could do with an HD version on freeview, apart from that and the to be expected teething issues it’s ok

  • VirtuaMcPolygon Rob Farmer (@VirtuaMcPolygon) reported

    @jonhoneyball @afneil @GBNEWS Technically it's all a bit amateur hour. Terrible size ticker bar which covers far to much screen space. Hangs around to look when fun and awful font size and dodgy design. Far to dark sets. Awful levels for sound. The Freeview feed is 10db to low compared to every other channel
