@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…

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.

@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.

@GBNEWS Hi there, congratulations on launching your great news channel. I’ve noticed that the volume on your channel is much lower than the other channels on Freeview. Is this for your tech guys to fix, or is the problem with Freeview to fix?

@GBNEWS I am having trouble getting GBNews. I dont have sky or any of the other channels so I tried freeview via my phone. However on its home page what's on page GBNews didnt feature and when I searched it came up with no results. I also put on the channel number, still nothing.

@FreeviewAdvice @Jamesmack007 @GBNEWS Speaking with people across my Town and troubleshooting with others across the internet. GBNews on Freeview is slightly blurry and fuzzy. This would suggest it is a Freeview transmission issue not a receiver issue as others are having the exact same problem.

Is anyone having trouble getting GB News? I understand it's on Freeview Channel 236 but it doesn't come up. Have I got a woke TV set or am I just being a bit dim?🤔

@Warwickshire01 @GuidoFawkes Had Sky when it first started. Turned out too expensive. Never bothered again. Wouldn't pay for TV. Happy with freeview.

@IndyVoices @tompeck I can't actually get it on Freeview, signal too weak in the middle of Northants! So only seen snippets but pretty much what I expected. From comments I have seen from the 'can't wait' to see it brigade the infighting and dissatisfaction is well under way, also just as expected!

@CaptainKramer @SkyHelpTeam @GBNEWS Freeview 236? Crap picture quality but still eminently better than the other news outlets.

@sandieshoes We would be happy to. Cancel our Sky subscription and watch it on Freeview / subscription. Likewise we subscribe to Amazon Prime, Netflix, don't give it a 2nd thought. Good VFM.
