    @IndyVoices @tompeck I can't actually get it on Freeview, signal too weak in the middle of Northants! So only seen snippets but pretty much what I expected. From comments I have seen from the 'can't wait' to see it brigade the infighting and dissatisfaction is well under way, also just as expected!

    What’s all this fuss about regarding @GBNEWS Only problem I found when watching on Freeview was the sound.

  • IanJ21289455 Ian J (@IanJ21289455) reported

    @GBNEWS 236 Freeview has Al Jazzera on my TV. Help.

  • spiritodelarue Serpicoserpico (@spiritodelarue) reported

    @nickmorristt @GBNEWS There problem with sonic when attempted to watch on freeview

  • man_dobro DobroMan (@man_dobro) reported

    @CaptainKramer @SkyHelpTeam @GBNEWS Freeview 236? Crap picture quality but still eminently better than the other news outlets.

  • Saphirial24 Mystique (@Saphirial24) reported

    @GBNEWS I am having trouble getting GBNews. I dont have sky or any of the other channels so I tried freeview via my phone. However on its home page what's on page GBNews didnt feature and when I searched it came up with no results. I also put on the channel number, still nothing.

  • java2107 @java2107 (@java2107) reported

    @jubbsxx where are you watching it? i haven't experienced much of this apart from the sound and lighting issues, but i have also been watching it on my phone. i have heard reports of most issues originating from freeview, which has bandwidth issues or something. criticism is good though!

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

    @Gbeebies If you're watching on Freeview the picture quality is likely down to most streams on the commercial multiplexes being transmitted at 544x576 then stretched to 16x9 to keep bandwidth down (thus sell more channel slots). This is down to the multiplex operator, not the channels.

  • guesswhatmimi_ cal (@guesswhatmimi_) reported

    wtf is this “new news channel” everyone is harping on about? am i missing something here bc i can’t find any new news channel on the freeview

  • 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.
