    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

Freeview Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ChrisDFirth Chris Firth (@ChrisDFirth) reported

    @GBNEWS Unfortunately sound quality has been poor throughout. I am watching on Freesat and Freeview. The first night Andrew Neil's voice was not in sync with the pictures. Sound levels vary when changing to different locations. And yes black suits with a black background doesn't work.

  • shirleyGTTO 💙 LabourLeaks ... Forde Report. NO DMs (@shirleyGTTO) reported

    @docrussjackson It's blocked they're blocked and I've taken it off Freeview. Absolute crap. We are not this stupid people's, please tell me you're not listening to the shite.

  • KeithParrycdf Keith Parry (@KeithParrycdf) reported

    GB News. A tv station to promote unionism, not my cup of tea. Seen it on Freeview, production quality is crap. Sound not syncrynised with pictures. Sound levels of interviewees all over the place. Sound generally much lower level than BBC1 etc.

  • Ne3Steve SteveNE3 (@Ne3Steve) reported

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

  • sean_antrim Sean Antrim (@sean_antrim) reported

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

  • ian_charles007 Ian Charles (@ian_charles007) reported

    @miffythegamer Don't have Freeview? Amazon box? Sky? WTF? Has their telly still got a box on the back? Buy a new TV and **** off!

  • respeak_uk Politically Homeless #ShockDoctrine #NHSPay15 (@respeak_uk) reported

    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

  • James_T29 James (@James_T29) reported

    @GBNEWS please sort your tech issues out…and get a Freeview HD channel. Thanks.

  • 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.

  • 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.
