    The #5g nonsense is awful. People setting fire to masts serving critical communications is madness. The frequency used in 5g has been redeployed from tv / freeview but still considerably lower power. 5g’s only side effect is faster & lower latency mobile internet #5gconspiracy

    Hadn't realised rural Freeview was still so terrible compared to in metropolitan areas. I get 80 Freeview channels in Dudley nr Birmingham, Dad gets 21 in South Shropshire! And doesn't even get Sky News which I assumed was on Freeview everywhere.

    Watched 5 minutes of @GBNEWS - god it’s awful. 5 minutes of ego boosting self gratification amongst the presenters and panel, 5 minutes of poorly cut clips and amateurish direction and camera work. What a waste of freeview space.

  • DearPerdita Dear Perdita (@DearPerdita) reported

    Frustrating that we can’t pick up channel 236 on freeview as the signal is too weak, so no @GBNEWS for us 😩

  • WriterAnnetta Annette Mingay (@WriterAnnetta) reported

    My complaints about the viewing and listening quality of GB NEWS seem to have fallen on ’deaf’ ears. I watch on Freeview 236 All the sounds including interviews and adverts are very quiet now I wonder if the problem is with the Freeview chanel?

  • DavidDoveton DavidHolroyd-Doveton (@DavidDoveton) reported

    @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.

  • 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.

  • daphnewheeler15 Daphne Wheeler (@daphnewheeler15) reported

    Dear @GBNEWS PLEASE how can I listen to your programme freeview 236 does not work in Lewes. I tried your email address from your web site that doesn't work either PLEASE HELP

  • stevenlarkins KSL Consulting Ltd (@stevenlarkins) reported

    @GBNEWS Please sort out the lip sync issues on Ch236 your Freeview Standard Definition service. Sound levels are also very low compared to BBC 1. These issues were very noticeable on your 6am breakfast show. I am viewing the Hannington Transmitter in N. Hampshire.

  • k4bladesagain cheekfulloftongue🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@k4bladesagain) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @robertamw The sound seems very low so I have to turn the volume up much higher than other channels. Not sure if this is due to something at their end or due to some sort of Freeview issue???

  • 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.

  • mjsmith75 Mathew J Smith (@mjsmith75) reported

    @GBNEWS any chance you can sort the sound quality out on Freeview please. It is awful and can hardly hear what is being said even with the volume on high. Others have complained to. Please sort it out or people will just turn off. #sortthesoundout
