  • richard__webb Richard Webb (@richard__webb) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @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

  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    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!!

    1325. On a whim I looked at #GBNEWS on Freeview. The studio sound is still out-of-sync with the pictures. Oddly no problem on the ads. Amateur time.

  • RedSunKarate Red Sun S.K.C. (@RedSunKarate) reported

    @GBNEWS Sort your broadcast signal out. Picture looks like it’s recorded on a 80’s VHS tape and the sound doesn’t align with their mouths. Tried freeview, sky and virgin

  • agw1437 A.G.W. 🇬🇧 (@agw1437) reported

    @GBNEWS gen qu for techie types: Why is there a synchronisation problem from the studio but not on the live video links? I’m watching on freeview - does that make a difference? Very curious but keep it simple - I’m a historian not IT.

  • seabros Steve Seabrooke (@seabros) reported

    @GBNEWS Good luck with the new channel. Two points need sorting out asap. The sound volume on Freeview is very low compared to other channels and the picture quality in studio is poor. Teething problems I'm sure.

  • DaveMor16686271 Dave Morrison (@DaveMor16686271) reported

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

  • tez95852118 tez (@tez95852118) reported

    @selwynfrogit @peter151120011 @GBNEWS Oh, bugger. It’s crap on freeview.

  • ChrisTheDJ Chris Merriman (@ChrisTheDJ) reported

    Oh and the picture quality is awful - fuzzy on Freeview, and on the wrong framerate on Sky.

  • GlynFordTV Glyn Ford Broadcast (@GlynFordTV) reported

    @TomSykesMedia Sorry, tried watching Lunch 12-13:00, and a bit of Breakfast on freeview recording. Looks like they have confused “Test” with “Launch” days? Technically very poor and unwatchable. See you later….. off to watch paint dry…..

  • LadyNakanoT Eliza (@LadyNakanoT) reported

    @Rastech919 @markmaycot @GBNEWS Thank you, yes I got the channel but as I have no outside aerial some of my Freeview channels have no signal even with indoor aerial and this channel is one of them, sadly. Will just watch on their website, thank you anyway 👍

  • twitdwood David Woodley (@twitdwood) reported

    @GBNEWS you still have a video/audio sync problem on Freeview! @afneil
