    @KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

    @scottjanaway @GBNEWS A few teething problems I would say - lip sync sorted 👍🏻 picture quality better on sky, but freeview very grainy. Set is very dark for sure @GBNEWS

  • DrewDavies68 Drew Davies ™ (@DrewDavies68) reported

    @BorisJohnson_MP I just switched on GBnews on freeview and Neils mouth is out of sync with his voice. Microphones not working. And a set that looks like a portacabin toilet. Well that’s a good start. It’s antiques road show for me

    @HTScotPol 1) Make sure your microphone works... 2) we also can hear the production team chatting on the iPad feed..... while Neil Olivers Mike failed 3) Freeview 236 sound not in sync with video.... 4) iPad feed is 30seconds behind live, time wrong 50% of time! Not 1 issue..4 gremlins

  • DT100 Craig Williams (@DT100) reported

    GB News is like one of those local channel 7 Freeview stations. Awful sound, cameras out of focus, and pretty sure one of the cameras is in 25p rather than 50i. I was involved in the launch of a TV channel, and we nailed it from day one. And as for the content…! #gbnews

  • Davey56Jones David Jones (@Davey56Jones) reported

    @Jan_Leeming Have you found it yet I am on Freeview 236 no problem You might have to do an update

  • Alexand85266011 Alexander (@Alexand85266011) reported

    @femme_uk @GBNEWS Yes, few teething problems but I've always found Freeview less than reliable.

  • LadyNakanoT Eliza (@LadyNakanoT) reported

    @markmaycot @GBNEWS Sadly can't find it, don't have Sky and freeview telly has terrible channels with no aerial. Might catch it on YouTube.
