    @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.

    @Juckylim @GBNEWS @virginmedia Same on freeview last night & this morning for me. I changed channel and back again. That seemed to fix it for me, but annoying nontheless.

  • basingbot basingbot (@basingbot) reported

    I am watching on Freeview, the sound is terrible, sounds like you’ve got cardboard boxes on your heads, even in the studio! I can only just hear you even with the sound full volume! I turn to other channels and it’s fine and I have to turn the volume down! Please sort it !!!!!!!!

  • GlynFordTV Glyn Ford Broadcast (@GlynFordTV) reported

    @TomSykesMedia Sorry, tried watching Lunch 12-13:00, and a bit of Breakfast on freeview recording. Looks like they have confused “Test” with “Launch” days? Technically very poor and unwatchable. See you later….. off to watch paint dry…..

  • twitdwood David Woodley (@twitdwood) reported

    @GBNEWS you still have a video/audio sync problem on Freeview! @afneil

  • k4bladesagain cheekfulloftongue🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@k4bladesagain) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @robertamw The sound seems very low so I have to turn the volume up much higher than other channels. Not sure if this is due to something at their end or due to some sort of Freeview issue???

  • Ross3330 Ross Stewart (@Ross3330) reported

    I’m watching on Freeview 236, wonder if different on other platforms? The video synch and sound quality can be so bad I can’t watch the screen. It is your priority issue to fix.

    @tomhfh I look forward to that. I'm never a fan of Freeview SD quality.
