    @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.

    @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.

    Catholic Twitter UK- help please! Anyone know of a Mass being broadcast on TV tomorrow ( not via internet) Lovely elderly lady has Freeview but no internet.... TIA!

  • 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 😂

  • 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.

  • James_T29 James (@James_T29) reported

    @GBNEWS please sort your tech issues out…and get a Freeview HD channel. Thanks.

  • Adam20876108 Adam (@Adam20876108) reported

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

  • ShutMinds Chris Cross (@ShutMinds) reported

    @GBNEWS @afneil 24 hours is enough to get some of the tech issues fixed. Sound is still around 10dB lower than all other channels on Freeview. Why are people repeatedly not miked up properly? It isn't amateur hour - many are wishing you well but their patience is being tested.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • ian_charles007 Ian Charles (@ian_charles007) reported

    @miffythegamer Don't have Freeview? Amazon box? Sky? WTF? Has their telly still got a box on the back? Buy a new TV and **** off!

  • respeak_uk Politically Homeless #ShockDoctrine #NHSPay15 (@respeak_uk) reported

    Twitter playing right into GB N*ws hands No publicity is bad publicity and the BBC is finishing off their reporting of the ads being pulled like this: "GB News is available on Freeview channel 236 as well as other platforms including Sky, Virgin Media and Freesat." #Ikea

  • sean_antrim Sean Antrim (@sean_antrim) reported
