    @GBNEWS A few sound / voice / picture sync issues watching on freeview.

    @StevenEdginton @danwootton Freeview signal not very good on 236 - SD only. I have a Sky box, left by a previous occupant, and much better on 515 and in HD too. Suggest more bandwidth on Freeview, @GBNEWS. Broadcast a second or two behind on FV compared to Satellite. Content, however, excellent!

    @JGForsyth @jfwduffield @afneil I'd love to be able to watch it but having problems with the App and via Freeview.

  • PaulRutters Paul Rutterford (@PaulRutters) reported

    @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

  • ByrneBarry Barry Byrne (@ByrneBarry) reported

    @At7dwarfs Not experiencing any problem like that. Set up a re tune on Freeview, should only take a few mins.
