  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    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 😂

  • fishinthedark1 fishinthedark (@fishinthedark1) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

  • coulson3000 Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported from Kensington, England

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • nessymon Nessy 😷 (@nessymon) reported from London, England

    @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

  • MikelGunners Dave Robins (@MikelGunners) reported

    @ArsenalAndrew @GBNEWS Switched over to sky channel and picture etc perfect. Poor vision and sound on freeview

  • tez95852118 tez (@tez95852118) reported

    @selwynfrogit @peter151120011 @GBNEWS Oh, bugger. It’s crap on freeview.

  • 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?

  • 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 long full size, 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...

  • agw1437 A.G.W. 🇬🇧 (@agw1437) reported

    @GBNEWS gen qu for techie types: Why is there a synchronisation problem from the studio but not on the live video links? I’m watching on freeview - does that make a difference? Very curious but keep it simple - I’m a historian not IT.

  • dvarets Alexei Romanov (@dvarets) reported

    @GuidoFawkes Poor picture quality on Freeview is a bit of a let down.

  • PaulHayhurst_ Paul (@PaulHayhurst_) reported

    @GBNEWS Anybody else p*seed off with the audio sync issue on freeview. How long does it take to fix

  • AB1ackSheep 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗽: (@AB1ackSheep) reported

    @SteveWithers @GBNEWS ‘Poor hd quality’? That’s the video bit rate, it seems limited to freeview I think? Virgin and Sky is in glorious HD. #GBNews #GBNewsLaunch

  • glovelace Graham Lovelace (@glovelace) reported

    @jennypriestley @GBNEWS Wonder if same issues on Freeview?
