@FreeviewAdvice @arqiva More disappointed, but I suppose I've got to accept it, after totally cutting the cord. I do have a tech question though. I'm using the Plex Media Server for Freeview, but the supplied EPG by Gracenote is terrible, is there a XML file of the one you use on the Android app

@FreeviewTV @fb2070 My mother has had the same problem. Didn’t have any channels, so I retuned the Freeview box. HD channels are now missing. Can you advise please?

@kieranjameen Kieran cancel it, my sister did with hers and hasn't missed it, you can buy internet freeview boxes now and you can download all the apps onto them, no monthly payments then, just for what you choose to, much cheaper

@flickeringflxme I’ve never seen that one myself but somehow my granddad ended up buying it for himself which was made weirder by the fact he only had freeview so didn’t even have Disney Channel. He loved it though

@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!

Trying to watch GB news on freeview, but it looks very poor quality photography even taking into account it is SD.

Watching #GBNews on FreeView 236 yesterday there was a slight delay between the sound and the picture. Hope they can fix that. Otherwise... Excellent.

Worst picture quality for new channel @GBNEWS on #Freeview it’s 2021 not 1942! #GBNews

@Patricia344130 For me, 1) Image seems a bit grainy on Freeview, isn't it in HD. 2) a few sound issues. 3) don't like the dark set used by @afneil it just looked very dated / amateurish. But it's the content that matters and so far so good. The teething issues will get sorted.

@GBNEWS need to get rid of black background, not only because it’s dreary as ****, but it encodes terribly on the low bitrate stream they’ve got on freeview. Also, there’s no contrast when everybody is wearing dark clothes.

@GBNEWS I just tried 515 on Sky and it's an HD channel, which means I, as a satellite dish customer, have to pay extra for. Tried retuning the freeview channels and there was no 216. Conspiracy theory anyone?

@GBNEWS Good start but you need to fix a couple of issues, most notably the image is too dark and the sound is too quiet. On freeview anyway.

@GBNEWS Hi GB News can you fix your Freeview Broadcast. The Sound is too quiet. Can you replace it with the HD broadcast?
