    @madaboutHolly @Lee_JM75 Who's watching this bad boy on Freeview channel 70 ,Horror, right now😁💩💩💩

  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

    @mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

    Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

    @BBC Been trying to report Freeview reception fault for last hour. YOUR FORM DOESN'T WORK. Severe problems ONLY with BBC. Trawl through form, submit, and keep getting 'something went wrong resubmit' message. Complaints site directs me to the same useless site. Can you help?

  • Adam20876108 Adam (@Adam20876108) reported

    @GBNEWS sound levels VERY LOW on Freeview. Please fix.

  • BeingAutistic Matt 🦞 (@BeingAutistic) reported

    @iMultitudes Probably aggressive compression as there’s only so some much bandwidth on freeview. You get artefacts when you push audio down quality levels.

  • skhowden Stephen Howden🌈💙 (@skhowden) reported

    @JolyonMaugham I took a look at it, just to see the bias. Something wrong with their sound, quiet and as if in a tunnel. Sky news reporting from Scotland Yard, 236 Freeview GBN the great deal with Australia. The deal could make farmers go out of business. I watched 6 minutes, never again

  • dafticus123 Rob 'Cooee!' Rich ™ (@dafticus123) reported

    @Jan_Leeming That's not old for a Panasonic TV, mines over 15 years old and is still better than a lot I see. Channel choice usually comes from the box, Sky, Humax etc. I'm Freesat and can't get some freeview channels. Better signal though.

  • Colin08302719 Colin (@Colin08302719) reported

    @GBNEWS Finally on air .The 1970s graphics are almost bearable but the complete inability to produce any broadcast quality sound is not. Fix it please then I can try and listen to you .I watch on freeview in London.

  • DJMidarezaki DJ Midarezaki, Esq. 🇬🇧🇭🇰➡️ #LivesMatter (@DJMidarezaki) reported

    @TheWeeder001 @LeslieH24367191 @GBNEWS The sound seems slightly better from the web feed. Glad to hear the sync issue that was evident on the Freeview feed on launch night is fixed.

  • Bachcyw Cyw (@Bachcyw) reported

    @neddalton90 They are indeed. BUT, if they can sow the seeds of doubt in the minds of some "Covid enthusiasts", that's a good thing. Their presence on the Freeview platform means they have much larger reach than Talk Radio, so you never know.

  • DavidDoveton DavidHolroyd-Doveton (@DavidDoveton) reported

    @GBNEWS If only I can hear the program properly on Freeview. The sound is awful. Cannot hear on the highest volume. Get you sound engineer to sort it out or get a new sound engineer.

    Can somebody please tell me the best USB thing that I can get that will play freeview tv like ITV/BBC to plug into my tv, because ITV hub is ****.
