  • PhilMcBoobs Philip McHale (@PhilMcBoobs) reported from Barnet, England

    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

    @ProbablyJoshua_ @SholaMos1 Hmm I'm not sure - its GOT a Freeview/Freesat channel! If the online response is 80-90% NEGATIVE it helps dissuade ADVERTISERS putting any MONEY into the awful thing :)

  • WriterAnnetta Annette Mingay (@WriterAnnetta) reported

    My complaints about the viewing and listening quality of GB NEWS seem to have fallen on ’deaf’ ears. I watch on Freeview 236 All the sounds including interviews and adverts are very quiet now I wonder if the problem is with the Freeview chanel?

  • JohnLewis2468 John Lewis (@JohnLewis2468) reported

    @GBNEWS the lip sync on #Freeview 216 is terrible!

  • mjsmith75 Mathew J Smith (@mjsmith75) reported

    @GBNEWS any chance you can sort the sound quality out on Freeview please. It is awful and can hardly hear what is being said even with the volume on high. Others have complained to. Please sort it out or people will just turn off. #sortthesoundout

  • Colin08302719 Colin (@Colin08302719) reported

    @GBNEWS Finally on air .The 1970s graphics are almost bearable but the complete inability to produce any broadcast quality sound is not. Fix it please then I can try and listen to you .I watch on freeview in London.

  • k4bladesagain cheekfulloftongue🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@k4bladesagain) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @robertamw The sound seems very low so I have to turn the volume up much higher than other channels. Not sure if this is due to something at their end or due to some sort of Freeview issue???

  • GeoffTurner13 Geoff & Christine (@GeoffTurner13) reported

    Started watching @GBNEWS shame that the sound on Freeview channel 236 is so poor.

  • banihwah Hugh P (@banihwah) reported

    @gbnews Just a heads up, on Freeview your sound output is really low. If I hop between channels you are perhaps 25% down on the others.

  • DearPerdita Dear Perdita (@DearPerdita) reported

    Frustrating that we can’t pick up channel 236 on freeview as the signal is too weak, so no @GBNEWS for us 😩

  • gazfitzgaz Gaz Fitz (@gazfitzgaz) reported

    @tomhfh Freeview isn’t HD - Looks a bit poor. Any plans to upgrade it?
