    @Ossyref I know but it’s not on Freeview. Not everyone has YouTube for TV or ability to watch on app. We ok as have Virgin but it’s still crap they ain’t showing it for others.

    @chloesammike @andywigmore @KayBurley Don't worry you can still get Sky news on channel 132 on your Freeview box. Thick ****.....

    @SteveWithers @GBNEWS ‘Poor hd quality’? That’s the video bit rate, it seems limited to freeview I think? Virgin and Sky is in glorious HD. #GBNews #GBNewsLaunch

  • MikelGunners Dave Robins (@MikelGunners) reported

    @ArsenalAndrew @GBNEWS Switched over to sky channel and picture etc perfect. Poor vision and sound on freeview

  • man_dobro DobroMan (@man_dobro) reported

    @GBNEWS The set is way too dark, sound needs improving. The picture on Freeview C.236 is awful. Will still watch though, anything but BBC and GMB.

  • timrollpickerin Tim Roll-Pickering (@timrollpickerin) reported

    @benarchibald @GBNEWS The sync seems fine on Freeview. It's the poor microphones that are the biggest problem.

  • KevinJH91314685 KevinJH (@KevinJH91314685) reported

    @GBNEWS Love to be able to watch but the Freeview picture quality (and sound) are so poor. Lighting in the studio looks pretty grim too. Shame, was looking forward to this.

  • 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.

    @JulietJeater Send it back for a refund and look at TVs with a Freeview Player installed. Not sure if this is down to BBC or Apple - had to speak with various Apple people around the globe before I ended up with an Irish one who understood the problem.

  • simonlloyd100 Simon (@simonlloyd100) reported

    @afneil @GBNEWS Please improve the studio lighting...its awful...also online in HD? SD on Freeview looks bad

  • noonereallyca13 Solo💙🖤 (@noonereallyca13) reported

    @GBNEWS great to see your on sure though Freeview service still has audio sync issues from studio feed

  • JohnnyDownes ❌Johnny Downes (@JohnnyDownes) reported

    Watching #GBNews on FreeView 236 yesterday there was a slight delay between the sound and the picture. Hope they can fix that. Otherwise... Excellent.
