    One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.

  • man_dobro DobroMan (@man_dobro) reported

    @GBNEWS I can no longer watch, the picture and sound level is awful on Freeview 236. The set is too dark. I want to support you but can't at this point in time.

  • BillyKane0 Billy #Boom Kane (@BillyKane0) reported

    @GBNEWS You seem to have a few sound issues on Freeview, sync and volume level

  • escalera_adrian adrian1909 (@escalera_adrian) reported

    @GBNEWS . Some suggestions. Dark studio. Sound issues. 3 minute news bulletin at top of the hour only. International news bulletin once or twice day. I only have Freeview so you need HD YouTube live feed ASAP. News APP. Better news website Other than that I like the new service

  • steve9930 Steve Palmer (@steve9930) reported

    @GBNEWS Sorry, would like to watch on Freeview but SD quality in 2021? The sound quality is poor and also out of sync!

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • GeoffTurner13 Geoff & Christine (@GeoffTurner13) reported

    Started watching @GBNEWS shame that the sound on Freeview channel 236 is so poor.

  • Ella1898 Ella Newton (@Ella1898) reported

    @jaycee1001 @SusanEacock Seems to have gone down well, sorry I missed it. What freeview channel is it on?

  • miffythegamer Miffy🏳️‍🌈 (@miffythegamer) reported

    Some of my gammon acquaintances have asked me how they can access GBeebies if they don’t have FreeView. Because I’m a helpful sort of person, I’ve told them that they can achieve exactly the same effect by sitting down and watching a fish tank filled to the top with dog ****.

  • Norfolk_Girly PartyGirl 💐 now-staying-indoors 🌼 (@Norfolk_Girly) reported

    Turned off #GBNEWS due to syncing and terrible sound problems. Needs better set for breakfast and only 2 presenters. Tried on freeview and sky, both same problems.
