  • Gordon92176321 Gordon (@Gordon92176321) reported

    @GBNEWS I live on the island of Islay off the west coast of Scotland. I wish to view GB news on my TV. My freeview signal is poor so channel 236 is not available. I do not have Sky as I generally stream my TV viewing via broadband. How can I get GB news on my TV?

    @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.

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

  • cue_em Howard Pitfield (@cue_em) reported

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

  • liarpoliticians Liarpoliticians, UK has rogue Parliament+police (@liarpoliticians) reported

    @Basil2744 @GBNEWS I can confirm that @GBNews has an audio problem. BBC Breakfast / BBC News average at about -6db, GB News is a lot lower (approx -10dB).. add to that problem, it is lower volume on Freeview than on Freesat in HD - I don't know why, they should be virtually the same. #GBNews

  • DaveMor16686271 Dave Morrison (@DaveMor16686271) reported

    @PPMurphy @GBNEWS Plus the picture quality is crap on Freeview

  • RadiumMan MrBav (@RadiumMan) reported

    @GBNEWS I don't know if you have noticed, but your Freeview channel, available earlier today, seems to have gone down.

  • 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

  • dvarets Alexei Romanov (@dvarets) reported

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