    @TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • vjlorenzato Victoria Lorenzato (@vjlorenzato) reported from Brentford, England

  • DaveMor16686271 Dave Morrison (@DaveMor16686271) reported

    @PPMurphy @GBNEWS Plus the picture quality is crap on Freeview

  • daphnewheeler15 Daphne Wheeler (@daphnewheeler15) reported

    @CatharineHoey @GBNEWS It all sounds just my sort of news BUT @afneil please tell me how to listen on my aged diggy box freeview in Lewes I tried all evening without any luck. Help Please.

  • basingbot basingbot (@basingbot) reported

    I am watching on Freeview, the sound is terrible, sounds like you’ve got cardboard boxes on your heads, even in the studio! I can only just hear you even with the sound full volume! I turn to other channels and it’s fine and I have to turn the volume down! Please sort it !!!!!!!!

  • dvarets Alexei Romanov (@dvarets) reported

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

  • redsince57 Kev THE Red ⚽✈️⛱️ (@redsince57) reported

    @Juckylim @GBNEWS @virginmedia Same on freeview last night & this morning for me. I changed channel and back again. That seemed to fix it for me, but annoying nontheless.

  • JonNFarmer Jon (@JonNFarmer) reported

    The sound quality on @GBNEWS is awful on Freeview

  • DaveMor16686271 Dave Morrison (@DaveMor16686271) reported

    @afneil I was looking forward to GB news but if you think I’m going watch a station with just sd picture on Freeview. If I’m not good enough for hd on Freeview I’m not bothering. Your picture quality is crap.

  • andyfalc Captain Andy ن (@andyfalc) reported

    @GBNEWS I'm really frustrated with the quality of sound on your output. It's crap! I watch on Freeview and the general audio is so quiet I have to double my usual TV volume and then many of your contributor's microphones are even worse. It is unwatchable, can you not sort it out?

  • Phantaxus Phantaxus 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 (@Phantaxus) reported

    @mattthr The aerial to play Freeview might be an issue. I went with the Nvidia Shield however that is not cheap but does have expandable storage
