@itvnews I complained about that awful erectile disfunction advert that appears on some Freeview channels, sometimes in the day & at teatimes, when kids will be watching & they didn't do anything! They said it was fine. It's not nice when young grandkids ask what erectile disfunction is!

@virtualash tell your boys your TV quality is poor on Freeview. Whale's head will not look fuzzy. This can't be allowed to happen.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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?

@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.

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.

@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.

@docrussjackson It's blocked they're blocked and I've taken it off Freeview. Absolute crap. We are not this stupid people's, please tell me you're not listening to the shite.

@GBNEWS If only I can hear the program properly on Freeview. The sound is awful. Cannot hear on the highest volume. Get you sound engineer to sort it out or get a new sound engineer.

(@ShutMinds) reported
@GBNEWS @afneil 24 hours is enough to get some of the tech issues fixed. Sound is still around 10dB lower than all other channels on Freeview. Why are people repeatedly not miked up properly? It isn't amateur hour - many are wishing you well but their patience is being tested.

@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.

@FreeviewAdvice Have been trying to submit a report re crap reception on Freeview, ONLY on BBC. Commercial channels fine. Form always says 'something went wrong, reload the form and try again!' Life is too short to waste yet more time on incompetence. Can you help.
