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

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

    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!!

    @GBNEWS Just to let you Guy's know. I've just switched on to 1 o'clock news and you gave a technical problem with your sound. It's not in sync. I'm on channel 236 on Freeview.

  • Ne3Steve SteveNE3 (@Ne3Steve) reported

    I still have @gbnews on in the living room and my desktop monitor has freeview built in (with an aerial) so I can easily switch over with that too Yes they're having sh1t loads of technical issues, I feel sorry for them a bit but they will iron out quickly and it's live

  • thejohnfleming John Fleming (@thejohnfleming) reported

    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.

  • PaulHayhurst_ Paul (@PaulHayhurst_) reported

    @GBNEWS Anybody else p*seed off with the audio sync issue on freeview. How long does it take to fix

  • dvarets Alexei Romanov (@dvarets) reported

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

  • ForRossiya Sustainability (@ForRossiya) reported

    @GBNEWS The FREEVIEW channel makes the internet circa 1994 look Hi-Def in comparison. Garbage content, garbage bit-rate, garbage channel.

  • agw1437 A.G.W. 🇬🇧 (@agw1437) reported

    @GBNEWS gen qu for techie types: Why is there a synchronisation problem from the studio but not on the live video links? I’m watching on freeview - does that make a difference? Very curious but keep it simple - I’m a historian not IT.

  • tez95852118 tez (@tez95852118) reported

    @selwynfrogit @peter151120011 @GBNEWS Oh, bugger. It’s crap on freeview.

  • ChrisTheDJ Chris Merriman (@ChrisTheDJ) reported

    Oh and the picture quality is awful - fuzzy on Freeview, and on the wrong framerate on Sky.

  • RedSunKarate Red Sun S.K.C. (@RedSunKarate) reported

    @GBNEWS Sort your broadcast signal out. Picture looks like it’s recorded on a 80’s VHS tape and the sound doesn’t align with their mouths. Tried freeview, sky and virgin
