    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

    @JoeChapman87 @GBNEWS Freeview 236, you may need to retune your tv. A few teething problems as it only began airing tonight but it’s a different take on news which is something I was looking for. #GBNews

  • DT100 Craig Williams (@DT100) reported

    GB News is like one of those local channel 7 Freeview stations. Awful sound, cameras out of focus, and pretty sure one of the cameras is in 25p rather than 50i. I was involved in the launch of a TV channel, and we nailed it from day one. And as for the content…! #gbnews

  • Bound4Hollywood Humvat Virit (@Bound4Hollywood) reported

    @GBNEWS I just tried 515 on Sky and it's an HD channel, which means I, as a satellite dish customer, have to pay extra for. Tried retuning the freeview channels and there was no 216. Conspiracy theory anyone?

  • KevinJH91314685 KevinJH (@KevinJH91314685) reported

    @GBNEWS Love to be able to watch but the Freeview picture quality (and sound) are so poor. Lighting in the studio looks pretty grim too. Shame, was looking forward to this.

  • DaveMor16686271 Dave Morrison (@DaveMor16686271) reported

    @FraserNelson The picture quality on Freeview is like watching tv 30 years ago. It’s utterly crap. Oh well back to BBC news HD.

  • slee1967 S J Lee 🌸🌸 (@slee1967) reported

    @anthonyfroberts @Linda36758099 My Freeview reception is crap so the channel keeps cutting out.

  • BotCheck9 BotCheck (@BotCheck9) reported

    @GBNEWS My old VHSs are better quality than your freeview channel. Have you considered upgrading to their SD service?

  • 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

  • MrSameer_ $ameer (@MrSameer_) reported

    Worst picture quality for new channel @GBNEWS on #Freeview it’s 2021 not 1942! #GBNews

  • LynneGordonNI Lynne Gordon (@LynneGordonNI) reported

    I’m ok with this so far, it’s giving the public a bit of a say, which is good for me. Yes there will be teething problems, channel 236 on freeview have a gander. #GBNews
