    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.

    @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!

  • PaddyTaylor Paddy Taylor (@PaddyTaylor) reported

    Ironically I can’t retune my @FreeviewAdvice to get @GBNEWS due to technical issues with the Freeview service

    @1AndyPurchase @GBNewsXtra @GBNEWS Great point. I watch on Freeview and was not sure if it was just an issue with my TV. Subtitles so important to many of us

  • DJMidarezaki DJ Midarezaki, Esq. 🇬🇧🇭🇰➡️ #LivesMatter (@DJMidarezaki) reported

    @TheWeeder001 @LeslieH24367191 @GBNEWS The sound seems slightly better from the web feed. Glad to hear the sync issue that was evident on the Freeview feed on launch night is fixed.

    @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.

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

    @emilyhewertson Sad really because no sane person could tune in for longer than 10minutes on freeview the sound is so bad and not getting any better.

    @miffythegamer Don't have Freeview? Amazon box? Sky? WTF? Has their telly still got a box on the back? Buy a new TV and **** off!

  • 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.

  • Adam20876108 Adam (@Adam20876108) reported

    @GBNEWS sound levels VERY LOW on Freeview. Please fix.
