  • JasonDragon1975 Jason Ratcliffe (@JasonDragon1975) reported from Chesterfield, England

    @Alexand85266011 @femme_uk @GBNEWS Freeview isn't very reliable for me either. I'm only 10 miles [as the crow flies] from the South Yorkshire Transmitter, yet I can only receive 6 of the 15 HD channels available. BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4, Channel 5 and CBBC. The signal quality/strength is on average 80%.

    @LuckyCedarlane @BBCAMERICA @ITV @itv2 @Channel4 @channel5_tv C5 is awful. All this is freeview too!

  • StuN_UK StuN UK (@StuN_UK) reported from Sheffield, England

    @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.

    @afneil sync problems on Freeview

  • richard__webb Richard Webb (@richard__webb) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @GBNEWS i was so looking forward to it. But… on freeview the picture quality is really poor, sound is out of sync, and just feels like the sets are dark and badly lit. Took my focus away from listening to whats being projected. #GBNews

  • Alexand85266011 Alexander (@Alexand85266011) reported

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

  • katrina1_ Katrina (@katrina1_) reported

    Sort the picture out on Freeview @GBNEWS bloody awful .. also the lips are out of sync when they are speaking

  • ChrisSleven Chris Sleven #DefundTheBBC (@ChrisSleven) reported

    @sophielouisecc Trying to watch it, but can't get freeview 236 so trying to watch on YouTube - no luck so far. Anyone else having the same problem?

  • DrewDavies68 Drew Davies ™ (@DrewDavies68) reported

    @BorisJohnson_MP I just switched on GBnews on freeview and Neils mouth is out of sync with his voice. Microphones not working. And a set that looks like a portacabin toilet. Well that’s a good start. It’s antiques road show for me

  • 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 👍
