  • 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…

    @Jay_Beecher @GBNEWS @afneil Agreed. The whole production value needs dialling up. The sound issues, syncing and people talking in the background need sorting ASAP. Also watching through Freeview it's non HD, you forget how awful that non HD world was/is!

  • DomaineValescia Paul H 🐝 🇬🇧 (@DomaineValescia) reported

    @GBNEWS My problem is video. Constant pixelation and then feed drops altogether. Makes it unwatchable. Using freeview 236

  • CllrGareth CllrGareth (@CllrGareth) reported

    @GBNEWS A few other things… your YouTube doesn’t have a live feed. The IOS app forces horizontal rotation. Freeview is in a pretty poor SD. There’s no smart tv apps. Eg roku/tizen/webos.

  • SteveWardle Stephen Wardle (@SteveWardle) reported

    @GBNEWS Slowly getting better. Keep it up. Please consider an HD version for Freeview, as the picture is still poor. Also lose the black backgrounds and remove/cover up the people moving around in the background. Early days though 👍🏻

    @GBNEWS Give us a fireTV app. The Freeview app doesn't work even if you have the knowhow to sideload it so unless you pay for Sky or watch on a phone you can't easily watch at all. I'm too old to squint at a phone for hours.

  • YoungOneUK AndyYoung (@YoungOneUK) reported

    @Carti_Mandua @GBNEWS It's crystal clear on Virgin TV. Really bad quality on freeview HD TV. It's down to the provider sending the signal.

  • liberaliskubrix S.D. Wickett (@liberaliskubrix) reported

    It's so bland and sanitised too. If you want to see 'Rightist extremism', you sure as **** won't get it on freeview television..

  • ChrisDFirth Chris Firth (@ChrisDFirth) reported

    @GBNEWS Unfortunately sound quality has been poor throughout. I am watching on Freesat and Freeview. The first night Andrew Neil's voice was not in sync with the pictures. Sound levels vary when changing to different locations. And yes black suits with a black background doesn't work.

  • GaryNunn1955 Gary Nunn (@GaryNunn1955) reported

    @GBNEWS Why is you studio picture so poor on Freeview. I know its not HD, but neither is BBC News channel on Freeview and their picture is fine. Really looking forward to watching you, but not with such poor video. Its not my reception as video from your roving reporters is fine.
