  • AB1ackSheep 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗽: (@AB1ackSheep) reported

    @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

  • noonereallyca13 Solo💙🖤 (@noonereallyca13) reported

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

  • Mickste92347993 Mickster 🇮🇹🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🍷🎶 (@Mickste92347993) reported

    @Ashleyrose66 @EamonnHolmes @GBNEWS Watching in FHD on IPTV provider Top quality picture. Sound issues at their end Standard definition on Freeview is pants

  • VirtuaMcPolygon Rob Farmer (@VirtuaMcPolygon) reported

    @jonhoneyball @afneil @GBNEWS Technically it's all a bit amateur hour. Terrible size ticker bar which covers far to much screen space. Hangs around to look when fun and awful font size and dodgy design. Far to dark sets. Awful levels for sound. The Freeview feed is 10db to low compared to every other channel

  • TheCheekyMissB Di 💙 (@TheCheekyMissB) reported

    @reece_dinsdale I tuned on last night, saw Dan wootton and turned back off. Watching on freeview and it looked terrible with what looks like rubbish imaged backdrops too

  • GuyMorfitt Guy Morfitt (@GuyMorfitt) reported

    @afneil Pls take sound engineers out & shoot them. Pic looks fuzzy on all platforms & Freeview sound & pic are out of sync. Dark studio background not working, esp for a bfast show. Pull up Colorama as temp fix. We need @LizKershawDJ @Fox_Claire double act on air pls. Good luck!

  • 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.

  • timrollpickerin Tim Roll-Pickering (@timrollpickerin) reported

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

  • iamyogmis yogesh mistry (@iamyogmis) reported

    @GBNEWS Watching on Freeview..aweful picture quality and sound.. doesn't look professional at all... hopefully teething problems but if it doesn't improve people won't bother.
