  • crazycol Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported from Ealing, England

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

  • 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.

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • 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 😂

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @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.

  • czerkawska Czerkawska 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 (@czerkawska) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Have been trying to submit a report re crap reception on Freeview, ONLY on BBC. Commercial channels fine. Form always says 'something went wrong, reload the form and try again!' Life is too short to waste yet more time on incompetence. Can you help.

  • GeoffTurner13 Geoff & Christine (@GeoffTurner13) reported

    Started watching @GBNEWS shame that the sound on Freeview channel 236 is so poor.

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

    @NickPye10 @GBNEWS I’ve only got freeview and the picture quality was really poor like cathode ray tube, no remote control poor, had to turn it off it was that bad

  • czerkawska Czerkawska 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 (@czerkawska) reported

    @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?

  • BillyKane0 Billy #Boom Kane (@BillyKane0) reported

    @GBNEWS You seem to have a few sound issues on Freeview, sync and volume level

  • AB1ackSheep 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗽: (@AB1ackSheep) reported

    @jangotch @GBNEWS Not seeing any syncing problems here at all (IOS/Android/VM & Sky) are you on Freeview? #gbnews

  • FatherJones1 FatherJones (@FatherJones1) reported

    @DerekWatson @Baronbigbucks @GBNEWS The sound quality generally is poor for this station on Freeview, and the picture quality and sync isn't all that, either. I get Freeview via the Larkstoke relay transmitter, which is a bit duff for all stations, but it's what we're stuck with where I live.

  • eddsirr Edd Sirr (@eddsirr) reported

    Watched 5 minutes of @GBNEWS - god it’s awful. 5 minutes of ego boosting self gratification amongst the presenters and panel, 5 minutes of poorly cut clips and amateurish direction and camera work. What a waste of freeview space.

  • stevenlarkins KSL Consulting Ltd (@stevenlarkins) reported

    @GBNEWS Please sort out the lip sync issues on Ch236 your Freeview Standard Definition service. Sound levels are also very low compared to BBC 1. These issues were very noticeable on your 6am breakfast show. I am viewing the Hannington Transmitter in N. Hampshire.

  • he1entweets Helen M (@he1entweets) reported

    @emilyhewertson Sad really because no sane person could tune in for longer than 10minutes on freeview the sound is so bad and not getting any better.
