  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

  • DavidSwindells1 David Swindells (@DavidSwindells1) reported from Macclesfield, England

    Hope we don't get this warm weather very often.#freeview doesn't work because of the high atmospheric pressure apparently. How am I going to watch #loveisland

    @anthonyfroberts @Linda36758099 My Freeview reception is crap so the channel keeps cutting out.

  • susanstanwix sozzledsue 🇬🇧💐🍷 (@susanstanwix) reported

    @sylvesterhakin @AthenaFreedom20 Oh I’ve not had any problems at all, I’ve retuned the Freeview and it was automatically on Dky.

  • at67435 Iron Thompson (@at67435) reported

    @GBNEWS Good start but you need to fix a couple of issues, most notably the image is too dark and the sound is too quiet. On freeview anyway.

  • Lemonhunny Lemonhunny (Lesley) 💉💉💙💙 (@Lemonhunny) reported

    @JasonPedlow @HelenSalmon2 I can't pick it up on my Freeview TV, and not interested enough to know if it's available on anything else I have. But seriously? First guest was Nigel Farage? Yes, my lack of signal was definitely telling me to avoid it.

  • Bound4Hollywood Humvat Virit (@Bound4Hollywood) reported

    @GBNEWS I just tried 515 on Sky and it's an HD channel, which means I, as a satellite dish customer, have to pay extra for. Tried retuning the freeview channels and there was no 216. Conspiracy theory anyone?

  • eufactsexplain Centre Right Democrat (@eufactsexplain) reported

    @GBNEWS @afneil Not available on Freeview in South Glos: “No signal or signal too weak” message given

  • RScandle Angelica Blastoff! (@RScandle) reported

    @danwootton So where is it mate?Buried down there on Freeview between some bloke demonstrating dodgy paintbrushes and the earrings channel?

  • jonthemusic Jon (@jonthemusic) reported

    @telday1 @Jayduck16803727 @GBNEWS I don't pay Sky a penny but previous occupant left box. It is not a subscription channel and I am watching it there now. It is only SD on Freeview and a few issues with the signal strength there.

  • jonthemusic Jon (@jonthemusic) reported

    @StevenEdginton @danwootton Freeview signal not very good on 236 - SD only. I have a Sky box, left by a previous occupant, and much better on 515 and in HD too. Suggest more bandwidth on Freeview, @GBNEWS. Broadcast a second or two behind on FV compared to Satellite. Content, however, excellent!

  • LynneGordonNI Lynne Gordon (@LynneGordonNI) reported

    I’m ok with this so far, it’s giving the public a bit of a say, which is good for me. Yes there will be teething problems, channel 236 on freeview have a gander. #GBNews
