    @LewisHamilton @SilverstoneExp That may be the case Lewis. If you really want to inspire the next generation. F1 needs to be on Freeview. It willl never happen though.

  • DamienAshton Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, England

    Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

  • geovilla77 georgie green (@geovilla77) reported from Bromsgrove, England

    You don’t realise how awful freeview is until your waiting for the sky man to come to your house 🥴

  • rozzietheaussie rozzietheaussie (@rozzietheaussie) reported from Royal Leamington Spa, England

    Dear @Channel4 please can you add live streaming to your 4OD service. My Freeview signal is shocking and I'm missing Bake off and this is very distressing

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

    @mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

  • banihwah Hugh P (@banihwah) reported

    @gbnews Just a heads up, on Freeview your sound output is really low. If I hop between channels you are perhaps 25% down on the others.

  • GeoffTurner13 Geoff & Christine (@GeoffTurner13) reported

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

  • mumofboys72 nick (@mumofboys72) reported

    .dear @GBNEWS is there any chance you can sort the sound out . On freeview your channel is realy quiet i had to turn it right up way over what i use other channels on . Hopeing you can fix it

  • czerkawska Czerkawska 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 (@czerkawska) reported

    @BBC Been trying to report Freeview reception fault for last hour. YOUR FORM DOESN'T WORK. Severe problems ONLY with BBC. Trawl through form, submit, and keep getting 'something went wrong resubmit' message. Complaints site directs me to the same useless site. Can you help?

  • FatherJones1 FatherJones (@FatherJones1) reported

    @DerekWatson @Baronbigbucks @GBNEWS The sound quality generally is poor for this station on Freeview, and the picture quality and sync isn't all that, either. I get Freeview via the Larkstoke relay transmitter, which is a bit duff for all stations, but it's what we're stuck with where I live.

  • magj2187 BigTasty🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏉🐑 Aka Matt Jeffery. (@magj2187) reported from Shotton, Wales

    @NickPye10 @GBNEWS I’ve only got freeview and the picture quality was really poor like cathode ray tube, no remote control poor, had to turn it off it was that bad

  • KrawiecRichard Richard Krawiec (@KrawiecRichard) reported

    @GBNEWS Low sound and out of sync, dark (but better than yesterday), lowest resolution of any of the Freeview channels makes the viewing experience hard to enjoy.

  • 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.

  • wisteriawitch Lynne (@wisteriawitch) reported

    @JOEPUBLIC20171 @GBNEWS @afneil I'd be happy just to have some proper sound so I can hear it. Apparently those watching it via Freeview are having the same problem.

  • PeteGasLondon1 PeteGasLondon #IAmJeremyCorbyn (@PeteGasLondon1) reported

    @ProbablyJoshua_ @SholaMos1 Hmm I'm not sure - its GOT a Freeview/Freesat channel! If the online response is 80-90% NEGATIVE it helps dissuade ADVERTISERS putting any MONEY into the awful thing :)
