    @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.

    @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%.

    @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.

  • GaryNunn1955 Gary Nunn (@GaryNunn1955) reported

    @GBNEWS Why is you studio picture so poor on Freeview. I know its not HD, but neither is BBC News channel on Freeview and their picture is fine. Really looking forward to watching you, but not with such poor video. Its not my reception as video from your roving reporters is fine.

  • TkoCymon Cymon Humphries (@TkoCymon) reported

    @Winiman3 @GBNEWS Well that’s is never going to happen as only a few HD freeview slots which the 4 public service broadcasters all have

  • 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.

  • Ne3Steve SteveNE3 (@Ne3Steve) reported

    @Carti_Mandua @GBNEWS The picture is really clear on Sky but crap on Freeview

  • BeingAutistic Matt 🦞 (@BeingAutistic) reported

    @iMultitudes Probably aggressive compression as there’s only so some much bandwidth on freeview. You get artefacts when you push audio down quality levels.

  • sean_antrim Sean Antrim (@sean_antrim) reported

    Has anyone noticed that half the channels on #Freeview are garbage?

  • DBJ1970 Djsoapytitwank (@DBJ1970) reported

    @GBNEWS Zero signal on freeview in Cambridgeshire. If you can put it live on YouTube I'll be another new customer.

  • Doranish james (@Doranish) reported

    It’s been suggested that Unite set up a “news and views” TV channel, initially a YouTube channel rather than something which seeks to get a broadcast license for Freeview. This isn’t an inherently bad idea, though it might be too risky for one union to do on its own.

    Twitter playing right into GB N*ws hands No publicity is bad publicity and the BBC is finishing off their reporting of the ads being pulled like this: "GB News is available on Freeview channel 236 as well as other platforms including Sky, Virgin Media and Freesat." #Ikea
