    @GBNEWS i was so looking forward to it. But… on freeview the picture quality is really poor, sound is out of sync, and just feels like the sets are dark and badly lit. Took my focus away from listening to whats being projected. #GBNews

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

    i hope they never make it so sky or bt etc purchase European tournaments and don’t make them freeview cuz it’s so good how the whole country is on it

  • DT100 Craig Williams (@DT100) reported

    GB News is like one of those local channel 7 Freeview stations. Awful sound, cameras out of focus, and pretty sure one of the cameras is in 25p rather than 50i. I was involved in the launch of a TV channel, and we nailed it from day one. And as for the content…! #gbnews

  • DrewDavies68 Drew Davies ™ (@DrewDavies68) reported

    @BorisJohnson_MP I just switched on GBnews on freeview and Neils mouth is out of sync with his voice. Microphones not working. And a set that looks like a portacabin toilet. Well that’s a good start. It’s antiques road show for me

  • ByrneBarry Barry Byrne (@ByrneBarry) reported

    @At7dwarfs Not experiencing any problem like that. Set up a re tune on Freeview, should only take a few mins.
