  • chris_sucksmith Chris (@chris_sucksmith) reported from East Cowes, England

    One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.

    @FreeviewAdvice Can you help me please. I am now relying on Freeview. My tv has HD but Freeview isn’t. How do I get my Freeview into HD. It’s not a pleasure to watch. Thank you.

    @Sonic_Sinclair @bbcmicrobot Technically it is, there's support for it in DVB. There's several channels on DVB satellite that uses it, not sure there's any on freeview. Certainly all the original services shutdown or moved to MHEG. The BBC mheg service was incredible but that's shutdown now too 🙁

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • FatherJones1 FatherJones (@FatherJones1) reported

    @DerekWatson @Baronbigbucks @GBNEWS The sound quality generally is poor for this station on Freeview, and the picture quality and sync isn't all that, either. I get Freeview via the Larkstoke relay transmitter, which is a bit duff for all stations, but it's what we're stuck with where I live.

  • banihwah Hugh P (@banihwah) reported

    @gbnews Just a heads up, on Freeview your sound output is really low. If I hop between channels you are perhaps 25% down on the others.

  • Nomaxone Nomaxone (@Nomaxone) reported

    @abline11 @tompfoster @GBNEWS Problem seems to be with Freeview 236.... Picture and sound quality seems poor in comparison to the website and other Freeview channels. Must be something to do with choice of camera type not being compatible with 236

  • PeteGasLondon1 PeteGasLondon #IAmJeremyCorbyn (@PeteGasLondon1) reported

    @ProbablyJoshua_ @SholaMos1 Hmm I'm not sure - its GOT a Freeview/Freesat channel! If the online response is 80-90% NEGATIVE it helps dissuade ADVERTISERS putting any MONEY into the awful thing :)

  • daphnewheeler15 Daphne Wheeler (@daphnewheeler15) reported

    Dear @GBNEWS PLEASE how can I listen to your programme freeview 236 does not work in Lewes. I tried your email address from your web site that doesn't work either PLEASE HELP

  • dafticus123 Rob 'Cooee!' Rich ™ (@dafticus123) reported

    @Jan_Leeming That's not old for a Panasonic TV, mines over 15 years old and is still better than a lot I see. Channel choice usually comes from the box, Sky, Humax etc. I'm Freesat and can't get some freeview channels. Better signal though.

  • DearPerdita Dear Perdita (@DearPerdita) reported

    Frustrating that we can’t pick up channel 236 on freeview as the signal is too weak, so no @GBNEWS for us 😩

  • KrawiecRichard Richard Krawiec (@KrawiecRichard) reported

    @GBNEWS Low sound and out of sync, dark (but better than yesterday), lowest resolution of any of the Freeview channels makes the viewing experience hard to enjoy.

  • eddsirr Edd Sirr (@eddsirr) reported

    Watched 5 minutes of @GBNEWS - god it’s awful. 5 minutes of ego boosting self gratification amongst the presenters and panel, 5 minutes of poorly cut clips and amateurish direction and camera work. What a waste of freeview space.

  • wisteriawitch Lynne (@wisteriawitch) reported

    @JOEPUBLIC20171 @GBNEWS @afneil I'd be happy just to have some proper sound so I can hear it. Apparently those watching it via Freeview are having the same problem.
