    1325. On a whim I looked at #GBNEWS on Freeview. The studio sound is still out-of-sync with the pictures. Oddly no problem on the ads. Amateur time.

  • WrecklessGamer Booker Dewitt 🌸 (@WrecklessGamer) reported

    .@GBNEWS are you hoping to get an HD channel on Freeview? Would definitely help 👍

    @GBNEWS ….Hi …Trying to watch today’s Freeview 236….poor quality picture & terrible sound quality…hopefully just a start-up problem 🤔…But I will not give up on you.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

    @LDubSimon @GaryLineker I had that on the iPad while the football was on the big screen. On anything more than a 10” screen the ITV3/4 freeview picture quality was so bad I couldn’t see the ball half the time!

  • JackyCwiero Jacky Cwiero (@JackyCwiero) reported

    @KEdge23 Obviously there are some technical issues, the sound for one is pretty diabolical (watching on Freeview 236) have to turn the TV volume right up.

  • DaveMor16686271 Dave Morrison (@DaveMor16686271) reported

    @afneil I was looking forward to GB news but if you think I’m going watch a station with just sd picture on Freeview. If I’m not good enough for hd on Freeview I’m not bothering. Your picture quality is crap.

  • stucordy Stuart Cordy (@stucordy) reported

    @GBNEWS Hi guys. Definite technical issues at the moment. Audio and video not in sync with varying degrees of separation and picture quality is not as expected on Freeview. External guest audio is almost inaudible. Just trying to help. You’ll get there 👍

  • dvarets Alexei Romanov (@dvarets) reported

    @GuidoFawkes Poor picture quality on Freeview is a bit of a let down.

  • seabros Steve Seabrooke (@seabros) reported

    @GBNEWS Good luck with the new channel. Two points need sorting out asap. The sound volume on Freeview is very low compared to other channels and the picture quality in studio is poor. Teething problems I'm sure.

  • cue_em Howard Pitfield (@cue_em) reported

    @GBNEWS lip-synch problems on Freeview...sound is way out. Can't watch until this is fixed.
