    @bowlestrek Get your facts straight. Johnson is not in favour of ditching the license fee, as he knows it’s a massive vote loser. Plus they’ve now realised, they can’t go to subscription fee system, as the freeview boxes that the majority of UK households use, don’t support it.

    @At7dwarfs Not experiencing any problem like that. Set up a re tune on Freeview, should only take a few mins.

  • MJKN1GHT Michael Knight (@MJKN1GHT) reported

    @afneil @GBNEWS watching initial broadcast on Freeview 236 very poor screen image as SD, worth looking at streaming live on YouTube in HD otherwise poor experience for large audience. I have same issue with Sky on Freeview and they fortunately provide alternative on YouTube 👍

  • Alexand85266011 Alexander (@Alexand85266011) reported

    @femme_uk @GBNEWS Yes, few teething problems but I've always found Freeview less than reliable.

  • twitdwood David Woodley (@twitdwood) reported

    @afneil sync problems on Freeview

  • andyfalc Captain Andy ن (@andyfalc) reported

    @GBNEWS You are all very welcome. I'm watching on Freeview and the sound is very low, just a teething problem I hope

  • wubands2 wubands2 (@wubands2) reported

    @montie 1) Make sure your microphone works... 2) we also can hear the production team chatting on the iPad feed..... while Neil Olivers Mike failed.... 3) Freeview 236 sound not in sync with video.... 4) iPad feed is 30seconds behind live, time wrong 50% of time! Not 1 issue..4+

    Tried watching #GBNews on #freeview 236. The picture quality/resolution is shockingly bad/low-resolution.
