  • Christi34653250 Christine Scott (@Christi34653250) reported from Longbenton, England

    @ITVX I wish I could or that Freeview took on this network a lot of us on pensions can't afford satalite or cable

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

  • aquablu Nicola (@aquablu) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    If we're in lock down for another 3 weeks, I really feel the #sonyChristmasChannel should be put back on #freeview...Will keep people in the house ( okay, it'll easily keep me in the house🎅🤶🌲

    @Claire_Pickard @sueashton3000 Many residents in Sunderland & along the Durham Coast also receive Freeview Channels from the Bilsdale transmitter. The fire is also likely to have knocked out about 30 relay stations, which "feed" on signals from Bilsdale. I wouldn't like to climb up the transmitter to fix it!

    @GBNEWS I just tried 515 on Sky and it's an HD channel, which means I, as a satellite dish customer, have to pay extra for. Tried retuning the freeview channels and there was no 216. Conspiracy theory anyone?

  • man_dobro DobroMan (@man_dobro) reported

    @GBNEWS The set is way too dark, sound needs improving. The picture on Freeview C.236 is awful. Will still watch though, anything but BBC and GMB.

  • LynneGordonNI Lynne Gordon (@LynneGordonNI) reported

    I’m ok with this so far, it’s giving the public a bit of a say, which is good for me. Yes there will be teething problems, channel 236 on freeview have a gander. #GBNews

  • TheCheekyMissB Di 💙 (@TheCheekyMissB) reported

    @reece_dinsdale I tuned on last night, saw Dan wootton and turned back off. Watching on freeview and it looked terrible with what looks like rubbish imaged backdrops too

  • iamyogmis yogesh mistry (@iamyogmis) reported

    @GBNEWS Watching on Freeview..aweful picture quality and sound.. doesn't look professional at all... hopefully teething problems but if it doesn't improve people won't bother.

  • JohnnyDownes ❌Johnny Downes (@JohnnyDownes) reported

    Watching #GBNews on FreeView 236 yesterday there was a slight delay between the sound and the picture. Hope they can fix that. Otherwise... Excellent.

  • SnowAndBeach Grant Rivers 🇬🇧 (@SnowAndBeach) reported

    @JoeChapman87 @GBNEWS Freeview 236, you may need to retune your tv. A few teething problems as it only began airing tonight but it’s a different take on news which is something I was looking for. #GBNews

  • TrevHead10 Trevor Howden (@TrevHead10) reported

    @vipeventdriver @GBNEWS While the picture and sound quality was a bit low, freeview west Yorkshire had no sync issues. I wonder if someone to do with the London transmission doesn't want GB news on air

  • Mickste92347993 Mickster 🇮🇹🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🍷🎶 (@Mickste92347993) reported

    @Ashleyrose66 @EamonnHolmes @GBNEWS Watching in FHD on IPTV provider Top quality picture. Sound issues at their end Standard definition on Freeview is pants
